Assistance needed with Plainsman rifle
« on: March 16, 2024, 04:12:00 PM »
Hi all, I am writing from England looking for information on the.45cal Plainsman percussion rifle made by Pedersoli, from posts on here I believe they were designed byCecil Brooke. I need to replace a broken spring in the trigger mechanism does anyone know where spares might be obtainable?  Alternatively would anyone owning one of these rifles be able to photograph the trigger mechanism removed from the rifle so that I can see what the spring should look like as only half of it remains. It is the spring which engages the set trigger, the main spring is ok.

The post above was originally included in a general discussion of The Plainsman rifle and Cecil Brook's involvement with it.  There were no replies to the questions in this post.  Can anyone help his fellow with info or pictures?  Thanks.

I think it would help if you could provide a few photos of the broken trigger mechanism. If you are talking about a small spring that lifts the front trigger, then it may be a basic style with which guys on here are familiar, even if they don't have access to an example of that particular rifle.
