At risk of getting growled at for double posting this...

As I alluded to in my prior thread (What is this shotgun accessory? @ http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=389403), I have an old 12 gauge single shot which is marked "Columbia" which is in need of some TLC.
I understand from the thread "Columbia" brand 12 gage shotgun (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthrea...light=columbia) that this was a "hardware store" gun.
I think that I might have to find some new parts for it as part of that TLC - does anyone have any suggestions as to parts sources?

Thanks

for photos of the gun in question please see my other thread: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=401676

Nope. Those old shotguns were generally cheaply made, used hard, and did not wear well. And there was not enough uniformity even among, say, Crescent-made guns, that parts from one would fit another. Depending on the parts, it might be possible to have them made, but the cost would likely be prohibitive and much more than the gun is worth.

Sorry, but it is a wall hanger.
