The three lengths I've found are hammergun long and hammerless with two versions of short. On one of my Parkers the Dixie spring was too short by just enough not to make contact with the top lever and I had to use a hammergun spring. I did have to remove a lot of material to get it to fit.

Thank You Harry...I learn something new here every day. I always thought that hammerless guns were either leaf spring or in later guns coil spring. I wonder when the leaf spring length change came about in hammerless guns?

Happy Thanksgiving Harry and thanks....
