I need a Recommendation for Gunsmith to make a V spring for a sidelock.

I am trying to correct an estlier job not done right by a previous owner. It appears the original spring was replaced and the work looks awful, more over the tumbler is striking without the force it should possess and causing 1 or 2 out of ten shoots attempted to misfire

In your neck of the woods....JJ Perodeau is your man.

"Old Colonel," I commend to you Abe Chaber, of Danbury, Connecticut, who made a set of ejector springs for one side of my circa 1891 Westley Richards exhibition quality 16-bore with a Deeley box ejector system that had been tampered with and thereby weakened at some time by an amateur, as well as a lock spring for my circa 1893 W. W. Greener G 60 Royal that replaced an earlier working but somewhat crude replacement of the original. The springs by Mr. Chaber are superior in every way; that is, in terms of fashioning, polishing and tempering. Both guns continue to function as originally designed and intended, and I have shot these guns several hundreds of times since without the least problem.

Regards,

Without reservation, I recommend both JJ Perodeau and Abe Chaber. They are exceptional.
