Mainspring and Frizzen spring clamps/vises

[Jerry V Lape]

The spring vise I have which works well with the larger locks is not going to work with the small springs on the Ditchburn lock I am using on this build.  Anyone making smaller scale vises/clamps for smaller spring locks?

Tom Curran makes a dandy vise that will work on various size springs.  For frizzen springs I like my Manton frizzen spring vise that comes as a kit from the Rifle Shoppe.  One needs to make a screw for it and do some drilling and tapping so ....
