I have an 1816 percussion conversion smoothbore with lock issues. When the trigger is pulled, it catches on the half cock notch.
Is there anyone or a company that works on these old guns? Replacement parts don't seem to be available that can just drop in because of the age and nature of manufacture on these. It looks like the previous owner did a little grinding on the bottom of the tumbler to try to increase clearance. I started to post this in the gunsmithing/repair area but it seems most of those topics are on modern repairs. Any help would be appreciated.
