I’ve checked MGW, my smaller hole in the wall parts shops, eBay, and even the dreaded Gunpartscorp to no avail. Any of you guys have a lead on where I could find a shell stop spring?

In no particular order:
I would try Franchi (Beretta) as they may have the parts or possibly know who would. I would ask if there are any authorized repair shops and their contact info as one of them may have the part on hand. I've done this with various Beretta and Browning parts over the years and had good success.
Try Cole Gunsmithing. He has been a long time "go to" person for all things Beretta and now that Franchi is under the Beretta umbrella he may be able to help.
Carlson choke tubes. I was told that they had some parts for older Franchi shotguns though they do not advertise it. It is worth a try.
A trusted gunsmith. He probably needs to replace oddball or obsolete springs on occasion and either has a collection of them to try or has a source for them. Or, you could try a store like Graingers or whatever that deals in those types of items. One may have to buy a handful but at least you can get a replacement.
This is what I can think of offhand, I'm sure there are countless possibilities others can come up with.

Thank you Rufus, got one and a spare ordered this afternoon. Maybe I can get it running right before the dove opener.
