Tiny flat spring in the handguard of my GHE that keeps tension on the release level i

Thanks for your input.

Some folks call it a handguard, other call it a forearm grip. The piece of wood under the barrels that you grip when firing with your non trigger hand. Call it what you may.

The little lever on my 12ga GHE that releases this forearm from the barrels, has tension on it from a flat spring, 30mm long and from 3mm to 6mm wide with a hole on the wider side. It broke.

Does anyone know of a gunsmith that may have one? I already contacted Tony smith for a micro weld. I'm shopping around and exploring my options.
