Contact Abe Chaber in CT. He is an expert at making springs and was trained as a gunsmith back in Germany.

what Dean said - that's an easy one for some one who makes springs-
be a good one to learn on if you are good with a jeweler's saw and a file

This site in the UK has a lot of springs. I bought a V main spring for an early Greener from them once. They have a few safety springs. People talk about Tig like it’s a magic wand, but a spring that thin will probably disintegrate. |

It can probably be laser welded back. Contact Tony South at Micro Precision Welding, 269-668-2760
Tony has done many such flat springs for me. And they're ALL still going strong. |

I would find a replacement before I would repair it. Can we see a picture of your Belgian Browning side by side?

I put the spring back in and the safety appears to work just fine... Is there any reason why it shouldn't keep on working with just one side of the spring ? Thanks, Karl |

I may be overthinking this, but I don't see why it wouldn't function as is, with a lighter spring detent. If it trying to cock sideways, a thin strip of flat stock the right width and thickness and a touch of SuperGlue under the safety slider where the piece used to set might be a temporary fix to give that side of the slide support. If it worked OK, a strip of Brownells 300deg Silver Solder could be added.

Excuse me, I thought I had read "Browning". What a nice gun that must be.
