Wow. Looking at that schematic, I don't think I've ever seen a more simply designed firearm. Only one spring! Simplicity usually means robustness. Buy yourself an extra mainspring or two from Numrich to keep as spares, and that rifle will probably be good for another 500 years.
Now I want one of these Stevens, ... just for it's simplicity!
