Remington 1889 Top Lever Spring

[foxshooter69]

Hi All,

Would anyone happen to know where I can either buy or have made a top lever spring for a Remington 1889 Shotgun.
Thank you

Make one or match a close sized one.

You just thin or and narrow the spring.

Here she is, all back together again, hopefully good for another 125 years!
