WTB 1874 sharps rifle bridle and screws

I'm in need of a bridle and the 3 screws for an original 1874 sharps rifle. The earlier sharps rifle(1859-1863 parts aren't the same. if anyone has these parts I'd be very happy to buy them from you. Thanks

Thanks Chris- I had looked there before I posted here and didn't see anything. I just looked again and still didn't see anything. If you come across that particular ad send me the URL.
Thanks Again
Dave

Try S&S firearms in NY they have quite a few sharps parts and if that doesn't work try Shiloh sharps their parts will work in originals.

Thanks Hawkeye- S&S only has the earlier type of bridle and Shiloh won't answer their phone but I'll keep trying.

I have had the same problem with Shiloh in the past. You would think if you run a business you could at least answered the phone....

I was in a local shop which also never answered its phone the whole long time I was there.  While checking out I asked "Why have a phone if you're not going to answer it?"

"To call out", the clerk said.

Sorry Dave, the ones I saw you probably found, it was two for the earlier carbines.

Have you tried Lodgewood Mfg.  They have quite a few parts for Sharps and other rifles.

Keep trying to get hold of shiloh. I know that sometimes they are crazy busy but they are always willing to help out.

Shiloh admits that their parts don't necessarily interchange with original 1874 sporters. I'm emailing with Kirk right now so we'll see what he says. I have also gotten more than several suggestions that Csharps parts are more directly compatible, but I haven't talked to them.

That reminds me. A few years ago I was talking to my brother who I knew had a cell phone. I asked him why he never answers it. He told me it wasn't even turned on. He just had it in case HE was in a bind and needed to call for help. Said it wasn't for others to call him
