Your both right! I never noticed, I corrected the problem, tk

If I did anything to this rig, I would send the stock to one of our wood experts to have the crack above the comb stabilized, the screw removed and plugged and the attaching iron cleaned up and a possible new screw added.

This is the first time I have seen a carbine taken completly apart. Interesting how the frame differs than the regular lugers.

I was noticing the picture with the grips removed showing the main spring (Leaf type). I noticed how it has what looks like two different leafs springs in it. My 1900 doesnt look like that when my grips are removed.

Is this common for carbines or is this one damaged. Im jst curious cause I havent seen this gun taken apart before.

Edit - FMF Squid's mainspring is definitely broken.

IIRC, Tom Heller is out of those; but there is a guy on eBay who sells OEM dual-leaf 1900 mainsprings regularly. Check my thread in the 1900 Forum for pics & URLs.

I would suggest not trying to shoot it.

James -

If you can't find the eBay seller of the flat mainsprings, shoot me an IM and I'll dig out the auction or receipt for the mainspring I bought. The seller lists them pretty regularly. IIRC, they were $75...

Update -

James - If you are interested, the eBay seller [dealoftheday$] has a mainspring listed now -

They look worse in the pics than in front of you (in my case anyway).

FMF Squid · 01-19-2013, 12:09 PM

I didn't notice the crack (or the broken mainspring) but I agree that it is one of the things that I could not rest until it was fixed...

I do currently have a couple of repaired (new front spring) original M1900 recoil springs in stock. TH

FMF Squid · 01-20-2013, 08:42 PM

Rich,
I'm an old Electronic Warfare Technician who jumped over to the dark side an became an Information Warfare Officer.
Here is a pic with the stock attached. Outdoor natural light, but you can see that the sun was at a bad angle.

Tom,
Thank you for the reply. I'm currently bidding on the Ebay item but if that doesn't come through I will purchase from you.

Anyone,
Please shoot me a PM for recommendations on who to send this stock to.

FMF Squid · 02-02-2013, 02:18 AM

Received the replacement recoil spring.

Now it's time to send the wood out.

FMF Squid · 03-23-2013, 06:58 PM

Hugh Clark, your work is impressive! The wood looks beautiful.

cirelaw · 03-23-2013, 07:02 PM
