WANTED CVA sear spring

[ParsonBart]

Hi all,

Does anyone have a V style CVA sear spring for sale for my Mountain rifle? I would take the sear, as well, if it was available.

They only have the U shaped on their website. V style is sold out.

I called them this morning. They do not have the V style.

Can you post a pic with a ruler by the spring, for scale? I think I have a couple different ones in a parts can.

Is the V type and U type interchangeable?

I have 3 on different parts locks, but all the U shape. Probably a similar lock to yours, but wrong spring.

If you want to pm me your address, I'll send you one. Maybe you can rig up something.

For what it's worth, I broke the sear spring on an old Italian trade gun several years ago. A propane torch allowed me to shape a mousetrap coil spring and that got me back in business. It's still in the lock, with no issues.

Thanks for looking!

Ok, going through the same problem, only U shaped sear springs. I elongated the slot on the lock that the tang on the sear spring fits into. It seems to work well. I used a dremel and a cut off disk and carefully and slowly removed only enough to get the tang to fit into the slot. I also removed the tang on one just to give it a try. That also seemed to work, it kind floats. You can try re-hardening the old spring. The only other option is replacing the entire lock.
