Shotgun Bridles

[swathdiver]

Some time ago on this here forum a fella said that the bridles on the Pietta and Pedersoli shotguns were the same size.

The Pietta's bridles are made from pot metal and on one of mine, they are both cracked. Taking this advice, I purchased 2 Pedersoli bridles from FlintlocksEtc and they do not fit. They are smaller. The bridles that arrived match my 13 gauge doubles, is it possible that Pedersoli used a larger one later on?

Some time back there was another fellow that had to replace his bridles because of breakage. Try to do a search in the archives - maybe it was a year ago - not sure. He found a place that had replacement parts for that shotgun. If you can't find any replacement parts then you will have to make them - not hard to do just time consuming - good luck. Those bridles are not "pot metal" just cheap Chinese steel :wink: :grin: :hmm: .

I believe that the source was Dixie Gun Works in Tennessee.
