Have to disagree. The only long trigger/hand spring guns that S&W ever made were the first 51,126 Model 1903s. I know of no other model with that spring.

Everything is the same, except for the fact that the OP's gun has the hand removed. I originally assumed that the OP had done that, but maybe that is the part missing and causing the problems with the action not working?? Without the hand, I assume that the trigger will not rebound properly.
