KY, is this the same gun that you were looking for parts for a couple of years ago? At that time you said it was an original US M1795 so maybe not? Anyway, the same answers go now, it will not be easy and it certainly will not be cheap, an original lock can run as high as $400 and a front band about $150+, triggerguard maybe $100. Look at gunshows amd on-line vendors that specialize in original parts. You will need to be a good deal more specific, there are variations and not all parts will interchange. You might try The Rifle Shoppe for new made parts to fit to your gun. If the moderators do not allow this post to stand, you may have to waite until you get enough posts, then try the Trader. Good luck.
