I have a new Euroarms Remington 1858, which after disassembley for cleaning. I am unable to get the mainspring back into the frame. I reassembled the entire gun, then I put the top part below the hammer roller. I am using a screwdriver as a fulcrum, to line the spring up with the slot in the frame. It still will not line up properly with the slot even with using alot of force. The spring seems to be to long and slightly warped on the bottom causing it not to fit into the slot. Any suggestions?
Update: I called Euroarms of America to see if they could help. I found out they don't have any tech service. I am now going to call S&S firearms. Phil at S&S confirmed I am putting it together correctly and he is willing to take a look at it for me if I mail it to him. He said it should be pretty easy getting into the slot. Yeah right!!!. THe gun is so scratched up from the pliers slipping It looks like crap.
