The rest is just an interesting (in my opinion) story.

Pick it up today to repair or complete your Iver Johnson or US Revolver Co 38 Caliber Top-Break Revolver. It’s in good shape all around with no major damage to note no deep cuts, gouges, rust, or other deformities.

The top break actions were not as strong as solid. You are considering a vintage Iver Johnson Top-Break Trigger Spring. And that MAY have been a long time ago, and guns may have worn, rusted, corroded, etc. These were good quality guns (not super duper golly gee, just good guns) WHEN they were made. The italicised sentence in the paragraph above is the only part relevant to the discussion. Between Iver and H&R, they made enuff revolvers to start their own arms race. When i repaired the kinked spring, and polished the plunger, the handgun ran flawlessly. Turns out that a spring and plunger were installed backwards by the previous owner. Since I had nothing to loose, I decided to "smith" it myself. He charged me $30 just to tell me that the gun was just worn out and that it would cost more than the gun was worth to fab a new part for it. Just figured Id post a little more history here since I posted my Father-Inlaws Navy Colt Revolver. It seems to be a late 1800s or early 1900s model but there is little info out there on them. was actually Iver Johnsons Arms and Cycle Works. However, if I were him, I would want more the the gun is worth to fab the part.Īs an aside, I once took an Erma "Baby Browning" that would constantly jam, to a gunsmith in Fenton for diagnosis and repair. The only things I really know are, the U.S. If I cannot find this part elsewhere I will call Doug. Good Safe Shooting, MOOSEThanks for the referral Moose.
