OK, so my friends got a rifle from his brother, a 1850-somethin Enfield percussion rifle used for civil war reenactments. He has a few problems. He's missing the nipple from the lock, the screw on the tang into the stock is completely missing, the bolt for the sling on the trigger guard is missing, and the trigger is really loose. The lock still works, but the trigger rattles all over the place.
It's not a bad rifle at all. Looks decent, but needs the parts. SO, I know I can find all the parts on track of the wolf, but my question is how I find out what size tang screw to get as well as what nipple and what sling swivel bolt. Any references?
Thanks guys. I don't normally handle percussion rifles, which is sad on my part. I guess it's flintlock all the way!
