You might contact the Rifle shop too, they may be able to make you one
Is it a production gun, such as CVA, traditions, jukar, ardessa, dikar? Many of them share the same lock and parts should be available.

I'm not sure. The only marking on it is "Spain" on the barrel.

Deer Creek Products.
While you're waiting for a new one to arrive you could have made several. If you can find the right thickness of spring steel, maybe from Brownells, it doesn't look all that complicated to make.

Yes that looks like it.
Traditions part 70506, $3 at the gun works.
Good man.
I've made them from old hacksaw blades, work fine.

Can you provide any details how to do that?
They are pretty much self explanatory. I start out by putting a section of blade in vise jaws, and filing the tab. Then make the screw loop, shape the fore part, heat and bend. They generally have enough spring to them to work without any special treatment of heat, as their job isn't very demanding. Most commercial sear springs are much stronger than necessary.
There have to be a few dozen completed threads with plenty of pictures archived here. Search for "make spring" and you'll have hours of info to read.
You're welcome.
