TO All:
I am looking for a mainspring for a 1817 flintlock comon rifle. I picked up an original flintlock rifle for under $400 but the main spring is broken in half. Will the model 1816 mainspring work in this rifle? I need to fix that and there is a long crack in the stock that I have to inspect on the rifle. THe bore is original .54 cal, but DIRTY. I do not even know if I should consider a reline on the rifle since many of them were bored out. Thoughts and information will be greatly appreciated!
With Warmest Regards,
Bryan
