I am resurrecting a Baker Leader #89127. This is my cold weather project. 12g 30" Laminate barrels. Choke +0.035 both tubes. Good case colors and very good barrels inside and out. Very little checkering wear shows the gun was not carried or used much. My project includes a full strip and clean metal parts. Light clean and refinish reoil on wood. Original BG stock heel plate is excellent. I will add a couple of photos.
Now to my need of your assistance. The forend wood hanger J spring is weak and the small flat spring is broken. Any chance one of you might have an orphan set? The J spring looks like it was heated and bent. Perhaps to lessen the tension required to snap on and off. I have not put this Baker to use but I will at my shooting club's vintage SxS outings. I am concerned that there is not enough tension on the hanger lump to hold the forend wood in place on recoil. Any advice or assistance much appreciated.
