Pioneer Breech-Loading Parts House /

All parts in this section comes from stand alone parts in my collection and parts from my Needham Conversions.

________________________________________________________

Needham Conversion parts are extremely hard to find. I have been lucky enough through everyday scouring every place I can think of to find them. At present I have 6 hammers, 3 receivers, two barrels , and 5 lock plates. I am constantly on the lookout for parts so if anyone reading this knows of any for sale please let me know fenianmaster@gmail.com

Parts today come from a couple of sources. In 1870 the U.S. government confiscated all the breech-loaders(Needham Conversions) and parts after the raids of 1870. Schuyler, Hartley, & Graham won the bid and obtained all the Needhams and parts from the government. SH&G then assembled Needhams from parts and sold all they had to the public. An example is one order as shown below.

Another source is Needhams that were in such bad shape they were disassembled and sold for parts. I am searching day and night for parts and that has paid off a couple of times. The parts shown below are the results of these searches.
