I have an old 12 gauge CVA Black Powder SBS shotgun that belonged to my late FIL. It’s a twin hammer percussion cap model and the hammers are missing. I’ve googled all the sites I can think of and CVA no longer carries the shotgun or any parts for it.

I posted in the WTB section and there has been only one suggestion there and it was a dead end.

Are there any out there?

Thanks.

They may have been removed because the barrels are bad
I have a 1920 shot gun that looks like the hinge and lock mechanism was repaired
But firing pins are gone

Try these folks. They have parts for their DGW double barrel. It looks close and may have been made for Dixie by CVA.

Thanks. I tried Dixie and they referred me to their gunsmith who told me that they no longer have them and he didn’t have any hidden away anywhere and couldn’t give me any other sources to try.

Both of the hammers were broken. He was trying to get them replaced before he got sick.

They weren’t with the shotgun when I got it. They may be buried in some of the stuff in the garage or attic. I’ll give your contact a call Tuesday and see what he says.

Do you have the broken hammers? They could be welded.

Try this guy, I forgot about him at first. He may have some parts. He can make them but it will cost you.

You might try http://www.dixonmuzzleloading.com/
At one time they had "generic" hammers that could be fitted.  You have to probably call the shop.  They don't run e-commerce.
