Best Answer

Each part of early guns was hand made, and parts could not be swapped between guns. A replacement part would have to be made and fitted by a skilled smith. Later, parts were standardized, and replacement parts would fit. Check the name Eli Whitney. He not only created the cotton gin, but standarized parts for muskets.
