Remington Rider #3 1893 single shot 12 gauge shotgun.
One was brought to me for some repair (naturally a basket case) and I cannot figure out the "multi-function" spring and how it is retained. This somewhat vee-shaped spring actuates the "lock plate" and returns the trigger (apparently) but when I try to assemble the gun in a logical manner, nothing stays in place so I don't know if I am not assembling things correctly or if something is broken. Is there any schematic of this gun available? I have done an internet search and can find absolutely nothing!
If nothing is available can you point me in a direction where I might find some information?
