I have an 1883 on my bench for restoration. Someone took the action apart many years ago and there are no sear springs or sear spring screws. No problem on that, I know what they look like and how they work. They also removed the action spring(s) and the main spring and every internal screw. I dont know why people do that !
I have several books on antique guns for reassembly but the pictures suck when it comes to showing proper placement of the main spring and action springs. Does any one have a *clear* picture of the action, up close with the lock cover off that shows the springs. ..... or does anyone have a really good reassembly schematic ... or .. does anyone own a model 1883 (hammerless) and would they be kind enough to take some good closeup digital pics of the action ???? I can probably figure out how it goes but would like to save some time on this job as I am not making any money on this restore as it is ... as usual.
Thanks in advance for any help.
