I have a Springfield/Bridesburg musket of 1863. Was about to order a new ramrod and see that this model may have used a ramrod spring.
Does anyone have a similar musket with a ramrod spring installed? I don't see any crosspin hole to hold the spring in place in my stock, but need to see exactly where to look.
My stock has a steel block inserted in the stock under the trigger guard/plate. I assume this is for the threaded end of the ramrod. Don't know if this was in addition to a ramrod spring or a design change to do away with the spring.
Google searches bring up plenty of photos of the spring, but not in situ.
Regards,
K
