I'm after a slightly stronger spring that looks like a safety pin with the head & point cut off ..... It's to return a carriage back to its start point
The hole in the middle of the spring needs to be about 4 mm dia and the spring legs angled to about 15 degrees it's going to be moved from 15 to about 60 and then reassert itself .
I'm not sure of the diameter of the wire as the spring is missing but suspect it will be about 1 mm dia
the legs need to be about 35 mm long
I've no idea how the strength of the spring is defined but think it should around 100 to 1500 grams when compressed to the 60 degree angle
For the more curious it is the barrel locking / locating spring for an old G 10 BB repeater pistol made by ???? of Huntingdon Beach CA. USA .
The working are the same as in this vid clip yutube.com/watch?v=H5qbEgnSZF0
It's the spring to the right of the shot that locates/ holds the barrel closed .
I know it's pretty crap sort of stuff but it belongs to Malcolm the old boy across the road . He's been going through all the unopened packing boxes from when he down sized from a large five double bedroomed bungalow & moved here three years ago , reckons he's had it years from when his kids were 15 or so ( He's now 83 ) . Evidently one of his lads unintentionally confessed many years later that it was he who broke the pistol and put it back in the box saying nothing .
When Malcolm came over the road with it this afternoon to ask me if I could repair it he said that he'd like to get it working again and give it to his 15 yr old great grandson .
It seems serviceable save for the missing spring .
