ASM 1851 Richards-Mason .38 sp conversion

[sully2311]

With ASM out of business, how hard would it be to find parts? Just picked up the 1851 r-m .38, and it looks like the arbor wiggles a hair and the firing pin is "shallow"

I have had this 1851 Richards conversion since 1999, said to be made from ASM parts by Dave Anderson's American Frontier Firearms. Is yours similar to this one? I haven't needed parts yet, but would be interested to find out too.

Not mine but exactly the same...

Here's mine-- stamped Cimarron under the barrel and .38 special on the left side barrel--s/n 373

Bishop Creek - yours is sure purdy.

I would imagine some of these will interchange. I didn't see a firing pin, but other parts are available.
