Does anyone have a line on where a person can find parts for an original Remington .31 pocket revolver, the spur-trigger model?
These were issued with 2 cylinders, one for percussion, the other a 2-part cylinder for the new .32 Rimfire cartridge. Mine appears to have been built in late 1862 or early 1863.
I don't care if the parts are new repros or originals, just so long as they fit (or can be made to fit).
I have had this thing for 30 years and really want to try it out, just 5 shots, before Der Fuhrer in Ottawa decides that it is too dangerous for Canadians to have.
I have the frame, grips, loading lever complete, front part of the rimfire cylinder, cylinder axis, but I am missing just about the rest of the guts.
Even dimensioned drawings would help; I have a lathe and a mill.
Are there any parts from Remington's other .31s, or from the Italian replicas, which could be useful.... and where can they be located?
Thanks very much, friends.
