Well, I have a broken hand spring on my 1851 Colt cap and ball. I see that VTI Gunparts has the part I need. Does anyone have some good take down and put back together instructions for these guns? I did not use any instructions to take it apart, just took out all screws, and the parts came out. I figured the gun is already broken, I can't break it any worse. I just want to make sure I put it back together right. It doesn't LOOK too hard to be put back together, but one never knows.
I was suprised when only five parts came out from the internals. There is something to be said about simple, well working designs. I just don't know what that something to be said is, but something should be said. :D :D ;D
