Default How big of an issue is a lockup spring not working

Hunting buddy of mine from the big city of Alice called asking if I was interested in a parker someone down south was selling. He is sending me pics, but one thing he told me is that the smith who has examined it said was that the lockup spring wasn't functioning.

Is this a big issue or a minor one?

Might be a nice deal if the gun is easily fixable, but then again if it is something that will be a pain to fix, I may just have to pass.
