T/C trigger spring

[sqqy14]

I have a Thompson Center Pennsylvania Hunter with a broken trigger spring. Of course Thompson Center doesn't have any in stock any more.
I wonder if anyone would know where I might be able to find one. The spring is small and not really visible in this photo.

Except for the possibility that the trigger might shake around and rattle, I don't know why you would need a trigger spring for this.

I've built several guns that use a simple single trigger like that and I don't use a spring on them. They work fine.

You are right. Functionally it will work, but I would still like to have it.

Give S & W a call,1-866-730-1614 or 1-413-781-8300, I have gotten parts off them since they bought out T/C.
You may even want to see if the Lyman single trigger spring would fit, since they come close to T/C.

If its a wire spring you could make one. I was able to obtain thin wire stock at lowes in the hardware section in the drawers.

I might be able to make one out of wire fishing leader material. It sure does flop around a lot without a spring.

Cain's Outdoors has some oddball TC parts, they might have one. Their website doesn't come up but they have an ebay store. At one time I needed a TC sear spring, they had it for 6 bucks but wanted $13 to ship it if I ordered it one line,(it is less than the size of a pencil eraser) I went elsewhere. The guy who goes by Ed in WV here is the Cain's guy, he may be able to help you out and I am sure he wouldn't have the online order shipping cost.

I've dealt with Cain's in the past. I didn't think they had too many replacement parts left.
Anyway, I went to the fishing department at Walmart and found these spinnerbaits. Fabricated a spring out of one and it worked
like a champ. Back in business. Thanks to all for the suggestions.

How about the spring out of an old 4" computer disc. I used one of those to lighten the trigger return in an unmentionable.
