    Can't you just make one ? Coil springs are fairly easy to fabricate . Flat Springs are harder to duplicate !

    Those are the neatest little gun ! I have a friend that has one in pristine condition ! A semi automatic single shot , working the bolt automaticly engages the Safety ! I have a Model 490 Winchester .22 that my friend would trade for , but they only made 32,000 of those !

    Try Wolf gun springs or Brownells once you get the dimensions for the spring. They sell packages of assorted springs that are over sized that can be cut to any desired length.

    I have a 55 parts gun in a bag somewhere, I'll dig it out when I can.
    If it has the spring, I'll see if I can duplicate it, or at least give you the specs from it.
