Rigarmi 1860 Army

[MAP]

Just purchased an old Rigarmi 1860 Army (made in 1974) and need a trigger screw, it uses a smaller diameter screw than Uberti/Pieta/CVA. I ordered a screw from e-gunparts and it's too thick. Anyone know where else I can look for screws to get this thing shooting again?

You could try these to start with:

Dixie Gune Works
Taylor's & Company

Thanks, I am familiar with both of those sources as well. Maybe Taylor's would have someone who I could talk to about diameter/pitch specifics. What would be good to find is a place that sells these parts in different sizes and not just by a generic model designation that fits most Italian clones.

Is there a specific name for these screws where the head is threaded but the rest is basicly a smooth pin?

Have you tried VTI? http://www.vtigunparts.com/store/default.asp

Good idea. I just sent VTI an email asking if they are familiar with the RIG manufactued Colt 1860 clone and have screws to fit. If they don't know, I think I'll go see Lodgewood when they're at the N-SSA Fall skirmish.

I think the technical term for these are threaded pins.

Thanks

How about something like this?

One of everything!

VTI said they don't have anything for the Rigarmi Colt 1860. I suspect the Dixie screw pack will have the sizes needed for current repops. I'll talk to Lodgewood to see if they have the right size threaded pin for the trigger in their inventory. I'm sure it's available somewhere but may not be marked as "Rigarmi 1860 Colt Trigger screw."
