LOL!!! Here’s a mainspring I pulled out of a model 1894 that spent a little time on both sides of the Rio Grande! Reported to have been in at least 2 shoot outs.

Old gun has had a lot of unique " custom" work on it too!

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
