Winchester 94 Set Trigger Problem (Mainspring) | Restoration, Repair and Maintenance | Forum

Howdy,

Long-time lurker here, and I'm hoping to get some help.

I was shooting my 1927 Winchester 94 in a lever action silhouette match today at the NRA Whittington Center when I noticed something was wrong with the gun -- it would not fire nor was the hammer under any spring tension so I assumed the mainspring was broken. I pulled the stock off when I got home and, sure enough, a broken mainspring. Well I figured that I would just borrow a spring from one of my other 94's until I could buy another one. No dice! The gun with the broken spring is also equipped with a close-coupled set trigger, so the main spring is made with some offset to allow room for the fly.

A quick internet search turned up nothing, so I'm desperately in need of a correct spring. Would anyone have idea where I can find one? I would not think they're very common. Please, I would greatly appreciate any help I can get! Thanks very much.
