Potsdam parts

[kowdok]

Anyone have any idea of who might sell internal lock parts for a Potsdam? Thanks for any help. I mainly need a bridle right now, but the sear is iffy.

That's probably going to be a "tall" order!

The reason is that even original parts from the same arsenal won't interchange. The best I've ever been able to do is weld up what was broken and carefully refit it back to what it was before it broke.

and we can talk about fixing you up.
I have been hand building my own locks for years and this sounds like a challenge to me.

This string opened and intense discussion here. The issue is: Assuming the Potsdam is a smoothbore, is God causing these mechanical difficulties to try to save these poor souls from the miseries of shooting a smoothbore, or is He punishing them for their foolishness for even thinking about removing these obamanable guns from the "not ever to be fired" rack and firing them. PJ, you have a strong theological background, what's your opinion on this?
Oh, of the Potsdam is a rifle, never mind.

Hey guys- Not rocket science I can make the parts needed to build a nice musket if you would like. Ask Jack Harper about his lock, Same details a busted bridle and sear - fixed both parts for him at a reasonable hand made price, another happy skirmisher! PM me if you want to fix it.

Robert did a great job! Handmade a new bridle and welded a new end on my sear in a reasonable time frame. Lock works great!
