Now I gotta find a hand spring, as mine is broken. Anyone have any ideas?
Cyrano, I inherited an M1883 Reichsrevolver that had a broken hand spring, like yours. I brought it to my gunsmith, who easily made a new spring from scratch. If you have not found a replacement spring, you might want to bring your gun to a smith and ask about that.
