I just got a 1895 .30 US manufactured in 1913. I have wanted one all my life, and finally got one. Problem is, it has a broken hammer spring(it is of the leaf spring type). Can anybody tell me who tinkers with old Winchesters, so I can get this problem fixed? Is the newly manufactured Jap 1895s the exact copy of the original? Does anybody out there know who keeps old Winchester parts in stock? :shock: I want to get this baby up and running.

Deano-

Make sure that you post this question over on the gunsmithing forum, too, if you haven't already. I checked a few online parts places, but I couldn't find anything for you. Good luck with that gun, I hope you get it booming again soon.

Try Buckinghams for original parts.Phone is 731-559-4169. Or you can Gun parts, they don't have much in parts. Or a GOOD gunsmith can make a spring for you. The new 1895's are different from the originals and not better by any means.
