Default Sear springs Old style or new GH 16 on 0 frame

I acquired a project gun which I thought was a GH 20 only to discover it is a 16 gauge on an 0 frame. I new I would need some parts one of which is sear springs. I looked at the schematic on Numrich and it shows two different types. How would I determine which type is needed. The serial number is 73259 which the manufacting records say was made in 1892. I am hoping this is the last part I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't recall what the serial number range was for switching to the one piece sear spring but your gun likely has the original individual sear springs. There will be a thin slot machined into the frame for the one piece spring to slide into or there will be two individual holes for the early style sear springs legs to sit in.

The link below is a drawn schematic view of a Parker receiver but it's not the most accurate. It does give a good representation of the one piece sear spring, part #39, along with how the frame is machined to hold it.

A gun of your vintage would have the okd style 2pc springs for the sears.

The switch was in the 19-teens.


I have the springs if you need them.

Thanks Brian. I need them let me know how much. I also bought a trip spring and top lever from you. If you have not shipped yet, please wait and ship all the parts together. Thanks David Penland
