Does anyone on here have pictures of the springs inside an Adams MK11/MK111 revolver ? All the internal parts were discarded on my Model of 1867 (MK11) when it was made into a table lamp !! I have found a master machinist who is willing to try to replace these innards and have pictures/schematics of everything but the springs.Thanks!

I happen to have these images handy, showing the mainspring as mounted in my Mark III Adams revolver ......

As I recall (my memory being aided by the following image) the only other spring in the Adams is the trigger spring - although I don't currently have any photos of that part from my revolver -

If you wish, I can dismantle my revolver and get better images/dimensions of the springs ..... or other parts.

Do you need me to dismantle my revolver and get any better pictures, or measurements of anything?

I would be happy to send a picture of my "lamp" but I seem to be too computer illiterate to figure out how. Simply attaching a file like you would to an email doesn't seem to work !

Thank you for satisfying my curiosity.

That certainly is an interesting piece of furniture.
