New member has a Ithaca Lewis project

Dan, no worries, it's my pleasure.

I recently posted a reply to a different thread that explains how to install the mainsprings. It is in this forum under the title "New Project: Ithaca Crass". The entire post may prove helpful to you, but the install section is on the last or next to last page of the thread (with photos).

Any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I have a few tips regarding the trigger/safety assembly that may be of some help. I'm finishing up the part of the tutorial that includes proper timing of the locking bolt. When I'm finished with it, I'll send you a PM in case you are interested.

Al, your reply with photos explaining how to use the flathead screwdriver clamped in a bench vise worked perfectly for me to finally install both mainsprings in my Ithaca Crass this afternoon, many thanks!
