Glisenti 1910 Parts
Posted by Chugs6965@reddit | Firearms | View on Reddit | 4 comments
Hi everyone, I’m trying to find parts for this Glisenti 1910. It needs all the parts written down in the pic, or 12-19 in the diagram. I was wondering if anyone has some ideas on where to look. I’m pretty new to the world of firearms so not sure where to start with this.

It's an ancient and rare gun, so no one mass-manufactures this stuff. For some C&R stuff, there's that one hobbyist who had a hundred of something made and is selling it on a website, but it would typically be a single, easily-damaged part, not the entire mechanism.
Your best bet, if you want to restore this gun, is to find a beater on an auction, but given how rare these guns are, you might not end up saving money. Do have any sentimental attachment to it? Otherwise, I'd write it off. If you really want to shoot a Glisenti, looks like someone is selling one on Gunbroker for a pretty reasonable price ($1.2k).

Not much of a sentimental attachment to it. My grandpa’s neighbor was a ww1 vet and gave it to him and the other neighborhood kids to play with. I was able to find 3 of the parts I need from an Italian gun shop. Would you happen to know the name of the guy you mentioned in your first paragraph?

Some of that stuff you could probably make. I know the grips could be 3d printed with wood filament and stained to match but then it's not real parts and it would be a pain in the ass if you're not familiar with how to model it.

The grips I actually found somewhere to buy them so I’m not too worried about those. I found a few of the other parts too but it’s 12-16 that I’m having trouble finding anywhere
