zippy13 and oneounceload, I will try to get the firing pin out and see if I can repair whatever is causing it to stick. Otherwise it will be go on the wall with a circa 1840s plains gun which I definitely won't try to fire.
I checked out the store in Azusa that zippy13 recommended and it is probably a bit pricy for me. For now I just want something basic for home defense and while it is possible to get extra barrels I am beginning to think if I get into other things, hunting or target, a dedicated gun for that purpose may be best.
I will try to get up to the Prada gun club when I can; if only to observe what is going on. Used to live north of it in Phillips Ranch and may drop in on a couple of old neighbors.
If I get the gun torn down again and fix the problem I will post some pictures in hopes of helping someone else out.
Thank you both for all the help.
