model 2 maynard

[bjensen85]

I recently obtained an original model 2 Maynard. I want to put a repro main spring in it.. I've taken apart my smith, sharps, and gallegher, but have never messed with a maynard. I've been searching for a diagram and parts break down, but haven't found anything useful. Does anyone know of any good links or pointers? I don't want to open this thing up and have parts fly everywhere! Thank you!

I am building a Maynard from scratch..It will be entirely finished end of next week.So I am familiar with the rifle....Yet I cant answer your question .I think surely you have found the same diagrams and parts breakdowns as I found when I looked..Have you seen the writeup in Frank DeHaas book "More Single Shot Rifles and Actions"..? Heres his drawing. The book is still available and reasonable price.
