What lock and from what Rifle?
Then you can determine if there are any replacements available.

Looks like a traditions lock. Those parts are easily available. You need a sear spring.
So here is a pic of the CVA rifle...

Just recently installed a new sear spring on my nearly 50 yr old CVA. There are two types a newer style and an older one.
I ordered from gun works muzzleloading emporium in Oregon.
It's a different place where you order online and they then call you to actually place an order. You can describe exactly what you need.

@wpage, Deer Creek Products would be the first place to look. You have a CVA Mountain Rifle. So, I took a look on the Deer Creek web site and the sear spring is listed as sold out. May be worth a call to some other suppliers. You will need to identify your lock for your rifle as being the CVA lock for the Mountain Rifle.

The Gun Emporium has the CVA/Traditions spring.

Bought one off fleabay a few weeks backs for my CVA double 12. Think it was about $20?
it looks to me like you also need a sear to me from your picture it looks bent. they do not last very long after you straighten them back out even if you heat and re temper do yourself a favor and just buy a new one
You can make them from old hacksaw blades.
Also can be made from the heavy pallet banding material without any heat treating.
Maybe better to replace the lock entirely if the spring wont do the trick. See what your saying the edge looks curled up some. I may be able to file or stone it off.
Saw this replacement looks like a good offer if it fits right...

@wpage, I think the trigger plate is much shorter on the Kentucky lock looking at pictures of the parts in the Deer Creek catalog. The Kentucky lock will not have the fly in the tumbler and may not have the bridle to support the tumbler in the lock. While the lock plate may fit, I don't think that option is a good replacement for the lock and trigger in your rifle.
Thanks for that...
Just put inquiry to see if they recommend it.
No you don’t need a new lock there’s no better lock made for your gun sears are cheap usually available on eBay I carry them when I’m at multiple day shoots

I also have a vintage CVA just like yours. Right under the main spring the lock plate is stamped Spain, see if yours is stamped also. Mine was given to me a number of years ago as it was in a basement fire. A restoration project is in order, mine has a nice birds eye maple stock. Bore is pitted pretty good though.
