Replacement Springs Needed

[B P Arn]

I have a keepsake gun that I would to repair for my brother-in-law. It is a double barrel, 36 caliber pistol, called "Snake eyes" way back when. Both hammer springs are broken, and replacements are not available. I tried making new ones, but that was unsuccessful.

Does anyone know where I might find some generic springs that I could cut down to fit?

Any other ideas?

I already have way more time into this thing than it's worth, but I would like to get it fixed for him.

Hah!! Been there done that, on various multiple guns. Sorry, can't offer useful advice, just empathy. I could list my guns that ended up as "parts guns" or even "junked" but won't do that, as it's not helpful. Just keep on trying 'til all options have been tried, and it's obviously a lost cause. Good luck!!

I don't know that they will have them but I have had some good luck sourcing hard to find parts through Numerich Gun Parts & Firearm Accessories | Numrich Gun Parts

Gentlemen, I cannot express my thanks enough for lining me up with the springs. I placed my order today for the springs and 2 new nipples.

This pistol isn't worth much, but it belonged to my brother-in-law's father who passed away some years ago. He will be very happy to have it operational once again.

It works again!

The parts (2 springs and 2 nipples) arrived today. As long as I had the pistol apart I polished it up, then put it back together. My brother-in-law was very happy to get the news and pictures, and I told him I would send it to him tomorrow.

Good on you for helping him out, did ya choot it before ya sent it out?

No, I didn't really want to shoot it. No sights, and smooth bore, so I don't think it would be that interesting to shoot.

I might get a chance to shoot it the next time I see them, maybe next summer.
