recent SW acquisition, need parts

[murphyowner]

Hi all,
I recently bought a twelve gauge, SW,around 1918 mfg., with 30 inch barrels, decent wood. I knew it needed some internal attention, which I have addressed....
It does not have a trip pin, so I have to hold lever over when closing...anyone out there have one to sell? Also, the screw for the trigger plate is really "gommed up" (a term affectionately used by my 85 year old father-in-law)....the screw slot is about 3 times its normal width...any of these available?
The main problem with the gun, was that the tail of one of the hammers (the part the barrel engages to cock) was broken, and I had it tig welded...plus the sear on that same side was messed with. Anyway, those have been rectified, and I think with the trip pin ( I have a spring), we'll be back in business...the trigger plate screw will certainly help it's aesthetic appeal.
thanks, Terry

Terry,i would have the slot welded up on the trigger plate screw and then recut it.You could mark the slot location with tiny punch marks under screw head on each end of slot and then recut the slot.If you use another screw it would probably not index correctly and head would be too high or low.

Bobby,
thanks, I thought of doing that as I found a former student of my wife (retired high school art teacher) who is a good tig welder, so I might bring him the screw to weld.
any sources out there for the trip pin?
thanks,
Terry
