Top Lever Spring
Thanks Harry for the information on the different lengths of springs. I can not remember where I got the last spring.(to many birthday parties). I do remember going to the local machine shop and fitting the spring with the use of an old Souix valve grinder with a wet grinding wheel(oil cooled). The machinest gave me a lecture on not getting the spring hot. He said that HEAT was the death knell for a spring. That gun is still working and it has been shot many times. Could it be that today's spring steels are of a better quality than the spring steels of 100+ years ago??? Thanks again Harry, I enjoy and I am in awe of the technical posts that appear on this site.
