I am helping a gunsmith friend find these. He would take 100s of them. Please share your sources.

Thanks, Dinny

I have not been able to source these springs in any real quantity for some time either, the ones I am getting are $16 a piece vs the $4 price I used to get.

HPK,
I didn't know you visited here too. There's discussion of a manufacturer setting up a line to make those springs. So far it looks to be an expensive venture for the gunsmiths who buy them. Some initial estimates have them costing as much as $30.

I lurk here mostly.

I talked to a manufacturer on getting them made and after a month of contact they went silent. I was quoted between $3 and $11 apiece depending on quantity. I was asking for a run of 5000 pieces because I figured that would be enough to make a setup worth while.

I also would use hundreds of them, I was buying them directly from "Big Green" right up until they were sold at bankruptcy auction.

Currently that spring costs me more than the other materials combined that I used to make my part.
