Replica Arms was an importer and distributor founded by Leonard Frank Allen, in El Paso, Texas in 1962. They imported the first Colt 1847 Walker replica, made by Armi San Marco. In 1965 the company was sold and moved to Marietta, Ohio, with Ken Phelps as President. Most older Replica Arms revolvers were made by Armi San Marco, Uberti, and Pietta.

Uberti parts are a little different. I need a hammer/bolt spring and the Uberti spring is about 3/16' short on the trigger side.

Ok, I did find this on the VTI site:

ASM Trigger Bolt Spring (Dragoon, Walker) No Longer Available - Modify Uberti UB:080019

Hoe do I modify the Uberti spring? I can't stretch it. I bought 2 so I have one to play with.

No idea, might have to call them. Deercreek products might have one. I usually call them. Both places have been good service on the phone.

Appears you want to replace the trigger/bolt spring. I would highly recommend replacing that part with a wire spring. Check out this thread...
