Angel, my top lever (pictured on the discussion of hammers) doesn't have springs. The gun always opens just fine but every once and a while when you close the gun on shells, a firing pin will protrude and needs to be pushed back in before closing. It seems like there should be springs on the firing pins but I'm not sure.

The offset firing pins did have springs although not mounted on the pins but on the offset.

My concern would be the pin getting stuck to the shell and not being able to open the gun. I have two identical 0 grades, one has springs one does not. I say they should have springs.
