Help with 1855 Springfield

[mac266]

I just bought an Armi Sport copy of the model 1855 Springfield. The priming mechanism on this copy is non-functional; you have to cap it like you would most military muskets.

I picked this up cheap because it is rusty and I plan on restoring it.

If I can't restore certain parts, where can I find them?

Have you contacted the company?

They still are selling the gun, so they must have parts. There is contact information on their site, in English and Italian.
