Greetings,
I am restoring a Springfield Model 53A single shot bolt action .22. It was purchased by my father-in-law's grandfather around 1907. It still shoots well, after a good teardown of the bolt and cleaning. Looks like all the springs need swapped out, it takes a couple of strikes to fire a round. Does anyone have any ideas about getting some springs that might work? I contacted a guy in AR., but no reply yet.
Thanx, Christopher
