Fellas,
I really need some help finding a recoil/return spring for my Sjorgren Semi Shotgun.
I broke it about eight months ago when stripping it down for a clean. It may have been brittle anyway considering the gun is close to a 100 years old and it's probably the original!
Locally, spring makers have told me they can make me one, if I order a minimum of 500 units!! So, I've been trawling old time gunsmiths looking to see what people have lying around......... no luck, unfortunately.
So, if you happen to come across anything that matches, obviously apart from me meeting any costs, you will have my eternal appreciation!
The spring itself has "square/flat" wire that makes the coils, but I'm told this is of no real consequence. The measurements are;
Outside Diameter - 0.25" / 6.36mm
Free Length - 4.65" / 118.1mm
Cross Section (of wire) - 0.051" / 1.3mm x 0.023" / 0.6mm
Pitch (distance between coils) - 0.64" / 1.63mm
Total Coils - 67
For those that don't know the Sjorgren, here's a bad pic!
