Alan;
One question since you have yours apart. It has been so long since I had mine I have been trying to remember. I know it has coil mainsprings which are located in the bar of the frame with a guide rod through them. Does this rod Push on the lower part of the hammer below the axle or does it Pull on the upper part above the axle?. I am somewhat wanting to think this rod serves a dual purpose of being pushed back by the cocking cams to cock the hammers while simultaneously compressing the main springs & then also pulls the hammer forward to fire the shell. Or does it have two rods, one for cocking & one for firing?

I had to replace the left mainspring in mine shortly after I got it. It would usually fire a WW shell but consistently snap on a Rem/Peters shell. I assume the WW primer was a bit softer than the RP.

I'll have to look in the morning. I really didn't take mine that "Apart" but I still have the stock off. I'll look. Numrich has a schematic, it might show there.

If I had to make a guess right now I would say one.

Alan's Crescent should have the coil spring lock and cocking indicators



but guns returned for repair could have been fitted with the later U-spring lock



Here is the schematic



or the even later c. 1927 crude wire spring





The No. 66 Quail model did have a second rod, and I don't know what it did

J. Stevens 335. Back together, tried it out today. Works great, doesn't double, flips back on "Safe" after every shot. No biggie right? Unless you break the spring messing with it...... looking for one of those tonight...


This was the one I asked the question about, not the Crescent. As Alan mentioned he had it apart I thought perhaps how the action worked. Well, I guess I was Assuming he had it apart, what he actually said was he had it Back Together.

I try not to take things that are working apart unless there is some real need. I'm working on cup of coffee #2 right now and I wouldn't dare touch a tool until that's done. It's "apart" enough to replace the broken spring. I'll see what I can see.
