Hey, I'm new to this form and I saw a picture of your springfield 53b. I just aquired one on a trade for a boat motor. The gun seems to be in good mechanical shape. However, its mising the rear sight( only the two parts that the spring steel holds down). There is also somthing I'm not quite getting on the trigger mechanism. I'm missing the spring that holds the tang of the trigger up against the bolt and there must be some kind of stop to keep the trigger from entering to far into the bolt as you slide it back. I'm guessing this stop also holds the spring on the trigger in place when the bolt is removed. Any ways, I'm wondering if you could send me some pictures of your trigger and mechanism. If you could send the pictures to
nhburns@gmail.com. I'm not sure I know how to use this forum and to look in the right place for your reply. Thanks!
