coil springs in 1851 Navy

[wb78963]

top picture the trigger spring hammer stop and trigger pull adjustment screw
Middle the frame showing the coil bolt spring. The shiny thing next to the bolt os a bolt stop that wedges the bolt straight up. The pin is the hammer stop
bottom is the plunger and spring for the hand that is a 2" square patch. There is a hole in the frame right above the left grip frame screw
This is about the best I can do.
the work was done by Mike Brackett at Goon's Gun Shop. .45 Dragoon is his CAS alias

this is not a commercial. I was asked about this gun and posted the pictures.
I am simply a satisfied customer, this is not a paid advertisement.
The gun also has a cap rake installed and a square front sight dove tailed into the barrel
Makes a very nice shooter especially with the adjustable trigger pull.
I suspect not NMLRA legal.

Would not be NMLRA legal.

Pictures do not work.

 

[wb78963]

• • What is the max size a picture can be so these can be seen?

 

[Zonie]

Go to the picture. COPY it. Come back to your post here and PASTE it into your post. Then, go back and get another one. Copy it, PASTE it and so forth.

I've had 3 guns done by Mike, all are outstanding!

Mike is an artist, knowing well what he's about.

It would appear this will be done in sections because i am a computer idiot.
Tjis is the trigger guard showing the plunger that is the trigger spring the shiny spot os the hammer stop ane at the top edge og tje picture ids the trigger pull adjusting screw.

 

[wb78963]

hopefully here is the frame.
The bolt is moved by the coil spring wrapped around by the pin screw. It is held in tension by the long leg held down by the original trigger/bolt screw.The shiny thing next to the bolt is a bolt stop that directs the bolt to go up no matter the size of the bolt window in the frame.
There is a spring and plunger not shown that tensions the hand. there are some Uberti guns that have this behind a tiny plug. Forget the tiny plug and let the frame do the work if it is long enough. A short spacer may be required if the spring is short.
Can you see me now?

 

[wb78963]

did the pictures come through?

[Shooter1]

Only one---0003

 

[wb78963]

OK there was only one picture.
The trigger spring is a coil spring and plunger set in the trigger guard. There is a screw that tensions the spring making the trigger pull adjustable. All in all a pretty neat st up.

That's a good set up. I have made a spring from a rather large safety pin; I used the coil for the screw and shaped the cut off arms to shape as springs for the stop and trigger. It works great in my .44 brass 'Navy' but the trigger is a little light.

Mike Brackett worked over a 1st Model Dragoon for me. The result is a smooth action, positive lock-up even with the elliptical bolt stops, and a nice, crisp trigger. He also installed a cap post or rake, and an adjustment screw to correct the arbor length. The man knows what he's doing.
