Mainspring Replacement Recommendations
« on: October 19, 2023, 01:59:55 AM »
Anyone know of a good smith to replace a broken mainspring on an original percussion rifle’s lock currently in Nevada? It’s an original Robbins marked lock.

They were my first recommendation too. I was wondering if there isn’t be someone more local for him out near Las Vegas, but sending a lock off by mail isn’t really a big deal either.
