Side by side hammer spring rod issue
A couple of months back I was given a j steavens arms and took co modle 285. I cleaned the berral and tore it down to find that the hammer spring guide rod keeps slipping out of place on the right hammer. I am thinking that this is a issue due to adjustment somehow but I have never worked is a side by side before so I don't know. Has anyone else had and experience with this?

It may not be relevant, but it seems the right spring isn't well flat round. I wonder if rotating the spring90 degrees would put more influence on guiding the assembly towards the right? Also, the center section was relieved more on the right side. Would there be a way to fashion a piece of flat spring steel and secure it in an 'L' shape to add a bit of shim on that side?

It can be rotated and will ride on the hammer cam and only pops off when you drop the hammer. Which is why I was thinking it was how he spring is putting pressure on the rod. I should be able to find something to compress it in my tool box (large mechanics box stocked with every obscure tool I have ever needed for a vehicle) I'll get photos as I go.
