Ted, thanks for the name, it now comes back to me. I had been reading his posts and in one he was explaining some of the things about an L.C Smith and one was how to put the top lever spring in. I had a gun that I had taken apart which was easy, the first side lock gun I owned. but not so easy putting that spring in. Well he went through the whole process on how to do it and I did make a tool to compress the spring by drilling a 1/8" hole in the stock near the where the top lever would be. It worked and I so trilled and ever since then I corresponded with Russ. I believe he lived in Missouri and later found out that one of our members lived not far from him. Nice guy.
