Ordering cannon fuse
Sure a person could enlarge the vent hole. But this might not be a good course of action, as it will vent more with a model. Vent hole size vs bore size. I remember buying a stock load of 2mm fuse at amazon with free shipping in the year 2020. And good stuff. Things have changed, Biden has... -

Sourcing a pistol double set trigger
A trigger is not very big. Before I had access to a lathe or milling machine, which would make me younger then a teen. Would use some files to shape the trigger out of tool steel (no bending) and a drill press for holes. Had no way to out source, so if I wanted it bad enough, it would be home...- Rich44

Pietta 1863 Pocket Remington issues

Swivel gun stand?
This style cannon just does not seem safe for heavy loading. It can be a lot of fun, but be careful with that cannon. Maybe a tripod stand with enough spread? An old wood survey stand might be worth looking at. -

1860 arbor removed
I am sorry, but the arbor is very important to be strong and perfectly straight. -
1860 arbor removed
There is only one true way to correct at this point as I see. The frame needs to be put in a milling machine. The threaded hole needs to be indicated round and plum. and then a new recessed shoulder established for a new arbor that will have a precision spacer to contact the shoulder on the... -
