Can anyone tell me where I can buy parts for a lefthanded flintlock .45? About the only thing I have is a barrel and full length stock with ramrod. Thanks, Worm.

There are several places that I have bought parts, here are some:

http://www.trackofthewolf.com/

http://www.dixiegun.com/

http://thegunworks.com/

It helps a lot to have their catalog, the online leaves some to be desired in comparison.

Worm-Is the barrel free of the stock? If not, carefully free it and check the bottom flat as they are often marked there. Can you post photographs? Especially of the lock area. If you can't figure out what lock the inletting is for, you can always buy a larger lock and inlet that. It's fairly easy to fudge trigger positions if necessary. But before you go to all that trouble and expense, you do want to be sure the parts you've got are worth it.

The story of this rifle that I got from my Dad, is that some one skipped out on a landlord leaving most of their stuff there. The landlord gave a lot of it to my Dad and I ended up with thre rifle. There are no markings or stamps on the rifle at all. The barrel hasn't even been drilled for a flash pan on nipple. I thought about trying to fill in the already inletted left side of the stock and try to make a right handed flintlock out of it. I will look and see if there are any stamps or marks on the bottom of the barrel and let you all know if there are any there. Incidenally I mic'ed the bore and it mic's out at .430. Worm
