    Dreyse Rifle Spring "Replacement

    Good Afternoon. Just snapped my '62's mainspring. Any suggestions on replacements, and I also would greatly appreciate specifications to try to match it if necessary. Thanks, Randy

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Had the '62 Dreyse's and the Chassepot's springs custom made by Bob Witte at Springsfast (PowWeb). At $21/ea the springs were matched to my old springs, and yesterday at the range the worked flawlessly. Dreyse was 100% and Chassepot was 90% first-pull ignitions. If you need springs for any of your rifles, contact Bob and he will set you up. Randy
