Jim, I think you may win the prize. It also had a real jerry-rigged home built spring. When I dismantled, the end of the spring was not stuck in the hole but maybe it had been at some time. I only discovered the hole when finally getting all the rust off. Here's that spring. The wood screw was driven across the stock head as a poor man's stock pin. I guess it worked (the head is cracked inside). The other spring was normal. Still wondering why the sear was filed/ground.
