High Standard Model A help needed
I am working on restoring a Model A pistol, and have reached a stumbling block with the sear spring. I cannot get it installed. The pistol came to me partially assembled, with the sear and pin installed without the spring. I got a spring from my parts stash but cannot get it in. I am trying to install the spring with the bent leg pressing on the front face of the sear, and the long leg against the upper part of the frame. Don’t know if this is correct as I haven’t seen a picture or drawing of one installed.
Can you help? Know any people with a good working knowledge of this pistol? Thanks for any help. Horace “Steve” Steven Last edited by SteveSteven; September 20, 2020 at 09:33 PM. |

I don't know the answer to your problem but, if it were me, I'd delete my phone number and email address from a public posting that everyone in the world can see.

Pistol finished
I have successfully gotten the pistol together. I got the sear spring in by tying the spring down with thin (1/32 dia ) soft iron wire compressing it enough to get into place so the pin could start in, displace the slave pin, and go into place. Then I broke the wire out with long nose pliers and pulled it out, releasing the sear spring onto its place.
Thanks for the help Steve |
