You might try Numrich Arms, Weidners or Brownells. :-)

You can get the original barrel relinesd at Redman's in OR.

Good luck,

i have finely found the parts ive been searching for, now we are ready to put her back together..
all parts are original 1873 38-40, now the question is can anyone tell me who i can get to install the barrell, or is there any info on how to do this ourself..
i am realy excited about what the parts that i got they are in very good shape and look forward to getting it back together for my sons grandfather..his grandfather got this gun when he was a young boy and someone before he got it had butcherd it , they had cut the barrell back to 14 inches, and cut the stock down aswell. now we have everything we need to put her back the way she was made.. any and all help will be very much appreciated....thanks jeff
