I’ve had an ejector spring on a BSA BLE and a right main spring in a Thomas Bland BLNE break. The youngest of the two was 70 years old. I’ve also had to replace the right striker on a Webley and Scott BLE. The striker wore down with use and had intermittent ignition. It was built in 1920. While nothing is inexpensive I think I’ve spent more on parts and repairs of newer guns.
