does anyone know whats neccessary to take a pre-existing colt SAA or clone and convert it to use coil springs throughout?
Some of the SAA's flat (leaf) springs, especially the one that pushes the locking bolt up into the cylinder notches, were prone to breaking. But metallurgy and manufacturing techniques have improved slightly since the 19th century.savit260 said:O.K. I'm curious...
Why would you want to do that?

There are aftermarket trigger/bolt springs for the SAA Colt clones that are made from music wire, they do not fail.Some of the SAA's flat (leaf) springs, especially the one that pushes the locking bolt up into the cylinder notches, were prone to breaking.
