Default Monday Gun?

The Trojan with the top lever to the left, still sits there even with other bolts substituted. I will live with that after the discussion of left leaning levers. While tinkering, I noticed that the duck-bill spring did not seem to sit square with the tang. I finally noticed that the milling of the tang did not meet normal Parker precision. Also not the end of the world but still annoying. I may file a bit off the spring to bring it to sit square. Cheers, Jack

That angle of the spring is normal.

The use of the V spring with the 1910 bolting is a bit of a transitional thing before the coil spring top lever was implemented.
