    You might try Numrich gun parts .com. They have many parts for different guns. You will need to know the brand and model and possibly the serial number. You should also have it inspected by a gunsmith before firing it live. Some old guns were Damascus twist barrels which should never have modern powder used in them.

    the safest thing to do since its old, is take it to a gunsmith.

    that way he can tell you if there's anything else needing fixing, and also help you with the firing pin. trust me, you don't want it falling apart in your face as you fire it.

    good luck with your gun, old guns handed down from family are often the best ones!

    Do you know what brand it is. There are plenty of sites that sell replacement parts. You could even call the company if they are still in buisness.
