Parts may be hard to come by. Ebay may be your best hope. I am not sure who made that rifle for Springfield.
What parts are you looking for?

Drum and nipple and looking to get it redone all around

@Marshall102212,
The nipple will be easy once we figure out what drum you need.
You will first have to determine the thread pitch of the drum which is almost certainly to be metric. Track of the Wolf shows two drums. One is 10-1.25 and the other is 8-1.25. The 8mm drum is for the Pedersoli and is not a likely candidate for your repair. You can measure the likely diameter from the cut out in the lock plate. Match it to the drum in the catalog and get the one without the drilling for the nipple. Believe me, you do not want to spend several hours trying to line up the threaded nipple seat that is pre drilled.

Once the drum is installed, drill and tap for the nipple with the threads of your choice. I recommend drilling the nipple for 1/4-28. Get the Powder drum installation tool. Makes getting the nipple in the proper place so much easier than not having the jig.
