Probably Dixie Gunworks, but you need to tell us who made the gun so someone can give accurate information. Also, pictures often help.

Track of the wolf might have it.

If it is a CVA/Traditions brand pistol, they might sell you the main spring, or they may send you a replacement lock (if under warranty) or claim the spring is not available and sell you a new lock.

If it is an L&R or Siler (et-all) upgrade lock, you can contact them for replacement parts.

I have worked on lots of CVA rifles and pistols (flint and perc). The locks are junk, mainsprings made of mild cheese or something like it. Rather than messing around for days trying to get them right, I just buy a drop-in Siler or Davis and the problems are gone.

Just get a used Pedersoli pistol, probably cheaper than messing with a CVA lock

If it is a CVA, look up Deer Creek. They have lots of parts.

See if it is marked Jukar or Dikar on the barrel. If so, a Traditions spring will work. If you could take a picture of the markings on the barrel it would help greatly.
