You may be able to get replacement springs from Dixie gunworks or Track of the Wolf. Both companies ship to Canada.

Google Doc Rowland.

I've dealt with this guy a couple of times for Pedersoli parts. He deals with their stuff quite a bit. A good guy to deal with.

E-mail pedersoli, I have had parts sent to me direct from Italy. They will ask for the make / model / serial number, etc.

re-tempering

If you know a good gunsmith have the springs re-tempered. A good spring can be re-tempered a number of times.

Retempering springs is easy.
The Dixie gun works Catalog had instructions on how to retemper springs.
It involve heating until almost cherry red, quenching in oil,
then placing the spring in a small pan ( jar lid) of cooking oil with a bit of kerosene and lighting fire to the oil. Let it cool without quenching. This will draw the temper and leave you with a very nice spring. This is the method that many old time gunsmiths and clockmakers used to temper springs.

X3 on VTI. I just received a replacement cylinder for a Uberti 1860. Took almost a year, but eventually the slow boat from Italy arrived. Lisa at VTI is awesome to deal with.
