Starr replacement breech blocks

[Kenneth L. Walters]

A year or two ago someone was making replacement Starr breech blocks. Anyone know who that was?

About a year ago I made posts about a carbine I'm building based on the Starr design. It uses the pivoting breechblock and rising wedge locking block for a tight lock up.
It's uses a shortened 56-50 Spencer case cut down to .9 inches in length.

I have both the percussion and rim fire versions. When I get to it I'll rebarrel the percussion one but that is far down on my to do list.

I correct myself, I just checked and The Rifle Shoppe has parts for Starr Carbines.
They list a percussion breechblock for $49.95. Just go to The Rifle Shoppe .com .
I'll probably call and order one for myself tomorrow.

therifleshoppe.com does make the does make the Starr Breech Block but be aware it is the casting only and you will need to have the nipple drilled/tapped and the flashport drilled. If you want a clean out screw you will have to have that drilled/tapped and create a screw, I plan on using a bolt that I will cut flush and add a slot for a common screw driver.
