rogers and spencer question.

[1861 Springfield]

these screws are often lost. is there a way to secure them
them ? I have two one to shoot and another for parts

There is absolutely no way those screws (male & female) can be lost accidentally. They have to be unscrewed from each other to be removed from the frame and that's not necessary to remove the loading lever/cylinder pin assy.. They have a notch cut in them to allow removal of the pin by turning the screws to the right position.

Those screws are small and with a total disassembly for cleaning they can be lost. I’m sure I could find a way to do it. I have experience in those sorts of things.

Non-magnetic stainless steels are high-alloyed, with a larger percentage of chromium and other elements. And they are more expensive than typical firearms stainless steels, which are almost universally magnetic. The firearms stainless steels are fully satisfactory in terms of rust resistance, but the magnet test alone can be misleading. A touch on an un-obvious spot with cold blue will determine whether the gun is or is not stainless.

I got this engraved stainless Euroarms Rogers and Spencer at an online auction in August and it was finally allowed to be delivered by the RCMP in February. Great gun. I hadn’t heard of the magnet test. The gun is magnetic. Just tested it. I was concerned about the long wait to get my hands on the gun because the auction photos showed black grunge in several places. I was hoping the “stainless” material wouldn’t corrode, and it didn’t. Cleaned up very easily. No damage. Btw. I got it for a bid of $850 CDN. With taxes, commission etc. came to over $1,000 CDN. Expensive, but fairly difficult to come by. One of my last allowable purchases of a handgun as long as Liberals are running the government.

I also just purchased a Euroarms R&S, 75.00 and was missing some parts. The screws are coming from Dixie and the mainspring has been lost to time. I am trying to source one now. The kit was never assembled just put away and the parts were lost.

A bargain! Good luck.

Thanks Springfield! I've never tried to find a mainspring before. Should be an interesting journey!

Not sure if I still have a NOS one in inventory.

However, you might try Peter Dyson & Son, if all else fails. They don't list one, though they may have some in stock.
