Winder musket disassembly

[stubbicatt]

Guys, I would like to take my Winder apart to check the internals. Does anybody have a manual reprint or other instructional material? It is not a flat spring, but a coil spring action.

Thanks in advance.

It's in the NRA Firearms Disassemby guides... I don't have mine where I can scan it right now but maybe somebody will have one handy. It's really very simple if you have a basic knowledge of gun assembly. Putting the coil mainspring and hammer assembly back together is a little tricky as is putting in the lever, block, extractor and axis pin all at once is a little tricky too. A firearms vise will be helpful.

Thanks Frog. I'll be in search of these books.
