I have an old single shot riverside arms shotgun my dad found in an old farm house on some property he bought. the gun seems to be in good shape with the exception of it has no firing pin. I doubt it is worth much but my wife has for some reason taken a shining to the gun, I have looked on Numrichs for the part but all I can find is parts for their SxS's. my understanding is that riverside became stevens but I cant find parts for a single shot 12 Gauge from them either.
I know I can go pick up a single shot of the same nature for $50 but It seems silly to disgard the gun over a firing pin.
I would really appreciate if some one could point me in the right direction.
 
also the only markings on the gun are as follows.

RIVERSIDE ARMS CO
CHICOPEE FALLS MASS USA

and on the barrel
PATENTED AUGUST 12 1913
 
The Riverside double is a Trade Name used by Stevens Arms Co from 1915-1940. It is the same as the Steven 215 or 315.

Numerich may have them I don't know,

I found my firing pin:D
I don't have any experiance with these old single shot shotguns so I was suprised to see my local gunstore had an assortment of firing pins so I just had to pick the one that fit.
