1817 Common Rifle Lock Parts

[B-Davis]

I am hoping a few of you may be able to answer the following question. I am in need of a sear, a mainspring, and lock screw for an 1817 Common Rifle. Do the 1816 musket parts fit, or do I need to go on a long search? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,
Bryan Davis

Common rifle parts are smaller than the 1816 parts. Since they were all contractor guns prior to interchangeable parts the parts are all different. S&S has new raw castings that will need fitted and heat treated. That may be the best way to go.
