Eclipse hinge questions.

[Rollout]

I’ve got a chance to pick up an Eclipse hinge for fairly cheap, but it doesn’t have any internals. I’m not familiar with any hinge frame, could someone tell me what goes into these for guts. I’ve got an old Belsales roller sear would that fit in it?

If it doesn't have a trigger I would be cautious. The trigger is very hard to find.

Otherwise you just want a regular sear, not a roller sear. Roller sears are good for changing sliding friction to rolling friction.
The hinge frames have virtually no sliding friction. Sears are readily available and relatively inexpensive.

If something like an Ecliplse frame was incomplete I would stay away personally for the reasons Hellion mentioned as well. If it were something like a slider, easy to find guts. Otherwise you will be left with trying to shove something more readily available like WGP hinge parts in there (if they even work).

It has the trigger. Newer style that’s one piece.

Then it should be easy to complete. Just a sear and a spring and they are readily available.

Thanks guys.
