Still trying to figure out what breech plug will fit. If anyone has a spare hit me up. Also an ejector stud. Thanks

I see one that should work on S&S Firearms. From 1868-1888, I think they are all the same.

Same breech plug was used on 1868, 1870 .50-70s and 1873 series .45-70s, the latter being blued.

Wonder why the Model 1868 comes before the Model 1866(67) Cadet? At first I thought our host had twiddled with it while pruning, but no, it's that way on the original, too. That and the absence of the 1st Allin are puzzling. Maybe the latter not so much because there are SO many unique parts, that there'd have been a LOT of white space and the table would never have scaled so neatly on just two pages. Or, perhaps, it was considered such a dead-end that no-one would miss it!
