Good Afternoon!! My son picked up a Chassepot that was not converted to cased ammunition. The rifle is in really decent shape with a strong rifling barrel. We'd really like to shoot the rifle, but it is missing the obturating washers, the nozzle, and pins (plus if there is a pin return spring under the nozzle). I figure I can fabricate the washers, but does anyone know of a source for the nozzle, firing pins, and spring or specs for machining them up? Any wisdom on making the washers? Many thanks!!
