I've seen several posts mentioning parts breakage on cap and ball revolvers. I thought it would be a good idea if we could consolidate that information into one thread to make it easier to find, so folks could put together a spare parts kit suitable for their guns.
If you are aware of or have experienced parts breakage in a cap and ball revolver, please post in this thread what (a) manufacturer, (b) model, and (c) broken part.
I'll start:
Euroarms Rogers & Spencer. I broke the cylinder pin nut screw by shearing off the head. Also, the screws in general seem a little soft.
Euroarms 1858 Remington New Model Army. Screws seem a little soft.
Uberti 1862 Pocket Police. The lug on the bottom of the barrel near the muzzle that retains the loading lever fell out of its dovetail.
