L&R lock mainspring

So what I needed was, tumbler, stirrup, and fly detent. They (L&R) said the mainspring was good. Thanks again everyone that responded.

I bought an L&R Manton lock a few years ago and the main spring broke very early in my build . . it was an older lock and so I called them and they sent me a new forged spring that is improved. It took a little filing, but not much. L&R was easy and helpful then . . . I assume they still are. When my build is done I may file the spring a little to weaken it as it's a beast. . . but I may not. . . not sure yet, I've only "fired" it when inletting the triggers and with a wood block in the ****.

I just bought an L&R back action lock. It looks like a forged mainspring. After several hours of filing and polishing it should be a decent lock. Definitely not up to Kibler standards or even Chambers but it seems that L&R is the only outfit making back action locks.

Yes, L&R are good people.
A fly is only needed for a set trigger.

They good folks. I converted a percussion Pedersoli Frontier to flint. The L&R lock is superior to the original.

Im currently building a double flint 20 gauge. The stirrup fork on both tumblers were broken. They are sending me new tumblers no charge to me. Great service. I’m impressed.
