12 Ga Hanmmergun screws

Guys - I have an 1886 Parker hammergun, 12 ga. I need to replace the hammer screws holding the hammer to the shaft. Any ideas on a source for these screws?

Availing yourself of Tom's services is certainly sound advice. Tom just finished helping me out on a 16 ga 0 frame hammergun project that started with needing matching hammer screws such as your looking for. Not only did Tom do a great job of machining a nice pair, but also was able to restore both tumblers to orginal thread specs. This required a good deal of extra effort and coordination on his part, down to and including educating me on everything from original parts specs to the best/safest way to get parts to him. He'll definitely take good care of you and you'll have a nicer Parker because of him.

Good luck on your project.
