Jim, you are correct that Lefever top lever springs seem prone to breaking. But the mainsprings and trigger springs seem to hold up well. I have only seen one with a broken hammer spring. I've made a couple top lever springs out of 1075 steel, but I used a tempering temperature of about 700 deg. F rather than the 450 deg. C (842 deg. F) that Ballistix999 used here.
