| Why not try VTI GUNPARTS? The FIE guns may be made by Pietta. LD

| You're welcome. I know that Pietta was and is still very big in the brass framed revolvers. I have three brass framed "Confederate Navy .44's" from them...so I think you may find what you need. As for a wedge...I'd suggest you DON'T PEEN the gun or a part. I suggest you go to the hardware store and buy a thick, all brass "4" from the house address number display, and using a hacksaw and some files, fashion a wedge to use when shooting, and keep the original wedge and gun intact. The rest of the brass you can save to make a couple of knife hilts, or another wedge if the one you make wears out. LD

Best approach, IMHO. Comes a time when those inexpensive imports become good paperweights or wall hangers. |

| I would buy any online wedge for an 1849 and hope it needs fitting. |
