	I was looking for Martini Cadet parts and found instead a pile of 1885 parts. Now all I need for my High Wall project is: A good link. The one I got is home made I think A sear pin, sear spring, and a sear spring screw A firing pin and firing pin stop screw. I have both the "mousetrap" and the flat spring, how do I tell which the hammer needs? Dino in Reno

	Dino, Look at the hammer. There is a long spur pointing forward at the bottom. If the end of it is almost sharp, it is a flat spring action. You can see where the flat spring rubs on the top of that spur near the end. If the end is rounded with a radius of about 1/4 inch, you have a coil spring, and you will see where the spring rubs underneath the hammer, kind of in the groin between the back spur and front spur on the bottom of the hammer. dave

	Flat, darn it. The barrel does not have any fittings for the flat spring. Anyone want to swap?

	I have some parts to trade if you'd have the front and rear trigger springs for the close coupled set triggers? Thanks Nap

	Checked the reciever, it does not have the plunger and spring hole to use with the coil. I guess I'll have to havr the barrel work done. Only parts I found are for this one. Who makes links? Dino in Reno
