    Something special

    Had something really special come along recently, this lovely old presentation Adams revolver.

    Not very often you get to see guns of this quality and in particularly good condition given its age (late 1800's)

    The issue was it was only operating in double action. An extremely careful disassembly found that a small spring had failed, stopping the sear engaging during single action function.

    The tiny spring sits under the mainspring and presses on the single action sear.

    Not an easy task but a small replacement spring was made, shaped and heat treated and it now functions again. It it is fair to say it is still not perfect but later models used a different spring design for that function so I guess that was changed for a reason.
