Sear Spring Replacement

[C.J.]

I have a Navy Arms .54 Hawken style percussion rifle. It has a Cherry Corners lock and the sear spring is broken. Does anyone know where I can locate a replacement spring?
Thanks

I would try Dixie Gun works or Track of the wolf. Best to call as not all parts are listed on the web sites.

I did a little Goggling on your lock. the path for parts may be difficult, here is an article discussion some options. You may have to make your sear spring, I made one for a pistol, not that hard. Dixie had the spring stock.

Link didn't work, Goggle your lock manufacturer and items come up.

Until you find one I've made temporary ones out of a bobbie pin really easy.

Where I presently live, in Wa state they refer to it as yankee ingenuity, but in my home state of Ga., to be perfectly politically correct now mind you, we refer to what you speak of as a "non caucasian modification" :rotf:

Well I hope not also. Because I certainly didn't mean for it to be offensive.

Since Pedersoli at some point owned Cherry creek , maybe your lock was made when they were making locks. It may be worth a try to see if they would have something that may work.
When I was searching for a sear spring for myself, I went to TOW and found a few candidates that looked promising in their replacement items for various manufacturers.
When I called them a fellow went to the stock and took measurements for me. Nice folks there. Biggest issue was over-all length, position of the loop for the screw and the location of the fixing pin point that goes in the side of the lock. Everything was just a bit too off, and couldn't be made to fit for my Belgium lock.
I am not saying not to try them, just what my results were for a 100 year old lock.

If you have the broken spring you can take it to any good gunsmith and he can make you one. Its not that hard to do.
