30 Wcf, 32 Wcf, 22.Lr where is a good place to have things checked out if a new part or two maybe needed. Is it possible to find original parts or better to go with new parts?
Check with Numerich Gun Parts, they carry a lot of stuff.

I've ordered from these guys but they can be spendy on things:

Ping @SPDguns He's the forum recommended smith and could probably point you the right direction.

Great rifles. Is there something wrong with them that you’re aware of or are you wanting to know where to buy parts “just in case”? In your profile you don’t mention where in Oklahoma you call home so it’s a bit difficult to suggest a good smith to give them a once over.
Need a dust cover, spring. set screw on an 1873. I think there were a few models. I didn't know if all parts were the same between models. Without damaging the value how to deep clean it.
Mark Novak has some good videos on YouTube that go into detail about how to clean without doing damage to the original metal and wood finishes.
Jack First has some reproduction parts for older guns.
Repops should be plentiful as these were the most commonly lost parts.
God, I miss Shotgun News for all these hard to find parts.
Watched a video or two. Not sure I can do all that all on my own may need a few pointers. Have the basic set of skills and want to.
Shotgun news. I have all my old copies what one did you want to borrow?
