When I was bluing the lock plate the other day the mainspring on my "free" pistol broke and I just sat it aside figuring a new lock would be more than the gun is worth(around $30). I told a guy about it today at the muzzleloader shoot and he said some places make a universal mainspring or something about just fitting a random one to fit it. What do you think of this?

In answer to you question about universal mainsprings, there ain't no such animal.
There are dozens of different mainsprings and each one is made for a specific lock.
There may be a few that are "close" and with enough luck, time and money one of them might be made to work by a competent gunsmith but his time alone will cost more than your gun will be worth.

Lulie b, are you sure the spring is broken. what I saw in the pic is that the upper half has come out from under the retaining pin, and the lower half is unhooked from the tumbler catch. Give it a good looking over you may get luckey and be able to reassemble the spring yours hounddog
