Thank you all for your input. I had talked to Brian Dudley first and he said he might have a spring but I told him I had already ordered one from Dixie gun works.
One thing I found however, the tiny screw which goes through where the link operates the lock was missing. I took the gun apart on a white towel and as far as I can tel nothing fell out. I was at Darlington Gun Works yesterday talking to Jim Kelly and he has no idea how the gun was working without it. Luckily a while back he bought a huge lot of Parker parts. He brought a box out from the back and found one and put it in for me. Jim Kelly saved the day.
