1883 Hammerless SN: 1186

[cquickel]

First time post. I have 1883 Colt Hammerless Shotgun Serial Number 1186. Can anyone provide me with some information on this shotgun? I also need a few parts. The ebony forearm tip is missing and the buttplate is cracked. Does anyone have an extra or replacement parts?

Thanks,

CQ

It looks like it was made in 1885. try proofhouse.com for serial #s. You may want a Colt letter wait is around 120 days. I'm very new to the forum so maybe someone will correct me or confirm the date.

Try vintagegungrips.com for a replacement buttplate. I have one on my 1883 that had a rubber recoil pad on when I bought it. Your going to have to find someone that can shape a piece of ebony to replace what is missing on yours.
