Alan;
One question since you have yours apart. It has been so long since I had mine I have been trying to remember. I know it has coil mainsprings which are located in the bar of the frame with a guide rod through them. Does this rod Push on the lower part of the hammer below the axle or does it Pull on the upper part above the axle?. I am somewhat wanting to think this rod serves a dual purpose of being pushed back by the cocking cams to cock the hammers while simultaneously compressing the main springs & then also pulls the hammer forward to fire the shell. Or does it have two rods, one for cocking & one for firing?
I had to replace the left mainspring in mine shortly after I got it. It would usually fire a WW shell but consistently snap on a Rem/Peters shell. I assume the WW primer was a bit softer than the RP.
