Thanks painter! Agree the second one is a pretty close match.

I've been working to ID these hammers and think I'm getting there. Any idea about the two upper left hammers? Upper row are percussion style...lower row are flat-face/breechloader. Also, do you...

Not sure about the Choir, but you've been helping me a ton!! Now I've got a ton of Trapdoor parts to sort through as well!

Painter, many thanks for the references! They are a great resource going forward!

Some sample pix...

Yeah, those are the old standby for sure...but they are sketches and not dimensional drawings. Not good enough to differentiate between say a Krag barrel band and a Trapdoor for example.

I collect a broad range of milsurps and am helping out a local shop that just got in a large consignment of guns and a pretty big mixed-bag of parts (mostly post-CW era and some WWI/II) that need...

Many thanks, Jim.

Just bought a nice 1860 Army SN 115430 (1863 build). Not sure if it's still PC to ask for SRS help on the forum, but Colt Forum lists this SN as going to Co I, 3rd Michigan Vol Cavalry, but no ship...

Anybody see a problem with the lower safety lever in the photo below? I bought it today at a local show from an old guy with a motherlode of '03 parts (also found a correct smooth buttplate and...

Just acquired my first SA 03 after a few months of research and lurking here (still not nearly enough I know now!) My intent was to find a mostly correct WWI-era weapon at a good price that won't be...
