    Try contacting the guy that runs C&Rsenal or even Ian from Forgotten weapons both of these gentlemen have resources for gun's parts and literature that you will most likely never find on a message forum regardless of how many knowledgeable they may have. I wouldn't expect an answer back in a day but give it a shot on their social media pages and not their youtube comments. I would also prepare yourself to be the proud owner of a pile of parts as well since it's a very good possibility and being many of us have indeed been here at one time or another. If you can find the original blueprints and have a machinist talented enough to reproduce but your looking at huge cash investments.

    MONTENEGRIN revolver: 11mm, G, $250. Works, but f.p. hole in shield is too large. Loose lock-up, good bore. Repaired bone grips. Hand made ejector, crane and safety. Original 3.7" barrel, shortest I've seen, and it is partially stamped 'MONTENEGRO'. not ready.

    Don't know if it's still available, but it's a starting point.

    I actually found that website myself, but given that it was last updated in 2017 and there's nothing on the fella's GB account. Might contact him to be certain though. I actually did try some of C&Rsenal's pages, though I haven't tried their website yet, figured I'd wait until they're done with their collaboration with Ian for that. I'm hoping to find blueprints or dimensions considering I'm capable of reproducing the parts myself, but there's nothing. I know there's something on it out there, I saw the ones C&Rsenal used in their video and they were in worse condition before they got a hold of them.

    Try "The French Gun Board". I have gotten drawings for Lebel parts from some of the French members. I know Ian from forgotten weapons frequents the sight, along with some parts suppliers.
