Still working on, attempting to start working on, a Ky pistol kit stated by my father over 40 years ago. There was some work started before he died. There is a Ky rifle which is still in the box and untouched. This gave me access to to another lock which should be the same but there are not. The main spring (not certain that is the correct term) is longer on the pistol lock than on the rifle Locke though all other aspects appear identical. While I can compress and get the spring engaged on the rifle lock the cam won’t rotate enough to allow engagement of the main spring on the pistol lock. It appears that I will need to dismantle the cam and the hammer, compress the spring and reassemble the cam/hammer. Pistol lock on the left and rifle lock on the right
