are there any parts available for this gun i have a 12ga. and need some pieces MC
MC-
Given the relatively short life of the Meriden Firearms Company and years that have passed since they were in business, I would suspect that parts may be a bit difficult to obtain, but I am always surprised at how available parts can be sometimes if one keeps their eyes open. Years ago I managed to find the proper extractor for an early commercial Colt Ace, and this month I found a factory new old stock IC barrel for a Winchester M12 Featherweight (that shotgun had a short production life '59-
'62)! There isn't a part made that a good gunsmith can't recreate, but that is expensive. One of the better sources of parts is the Gun Parts Corporation.

Who is the one maker you identified ? Where in Illinois are you? I am in Aurora. I went over to the St. Charles club yesterday and shot 2 quick rounds of trap with the Meriden. I just love shooting this old shotgun and I had a blast (after not shooting for over a month I managed to shoot 22/25 both rounds).
