Russ Hamm Lock
« on: April 13, 2018, 07:23:23 PM »
I picked up a Hamm percusion lock also marked Dean Mitton, mainspring is gone. Do springs have to be custom made?
Thanks

Dixie gun Works sells some springs with an elongated tit that can be trimmed to fit the lockplate.

I think Jerry DeVaudruil in Wooster Ohio may have some.

Dean Mitton bought the Hamm lock business many years
ago.

You're welcome but these were NEVER quality locks and
are known for trouble.

Percussion locks generally work.
