1863 Parts availability, etc?

Post by John in PA »

I realize the paper cartridge guns are not currently cataloged, but are some/all parts still available?
Also, which parts will interchange with originals (or with modest hand fitting)
Finally, specifically, can a Shiloh gas check plate be installed in an excellent -condition original percussion breechblock?

We will always have parts. The originals need a special gas plate made.

So, Kirk, do you folks have replacement gas plates in stock for an 1863 Farmingdale Shiloh carbine? And, if so, how much would it cost and how long would it take to get you folks to fit it to my carbine?

HI,
Price depends on how bad the chamber, plate, and block are, you can expect 3 - 6 months turn around
