Help with Ortgies 25 cal part

[RichW]

Does anyone have a broken 25 cal (6.35 mm) Ortgies they care to part with? I need a sear for mine. I've tried Numrich, Marstar, Bobs Gun Parts, and everywhere else I can get a hit from on the internet. Noone has one. They have advised to check back and I will but I hoped someone here might know of one.

Thanks.

rich,

keep your eyes open on auction arms and gun broker. I see these for sale on there occasionally.

Gun Broker has a ton of parts on there right now.

Thanks. I tried them. No luck today but I'll keep an eye on the site. I fouind 2 complete Ortgies but no parts. I appreciate the response. I hate to trash the gun but I also don't want to pay $100+ to machine a sear for an 80 year old gun that might break again any minute.

Neat little guns, but they were prone to break internals and fire unexpectedly. It seems the heat treating wasn't up to par so don't leave it cocked and loaded with a round in the tube. Many reports of them firing while at rest
