Old Style Sear Spring

Glenn Renner · 06-21-2022, 10:43 AM

I'm working on preserving a 1904 VH 12 gauge and need to replace one of the sear springs. Does anyone have a contact on where I can purchase one? I've tried everything that's come up on Google and no one seems to have one.

I had one break on an EH years ago, couldnt find one. My gunsmith had to make a new one by hand. Cost a couple of Benjamins.
Sometimes orphaned receivers appear on e-bay, but lately they seem to be parted out and sold piece by piece. Good luck.

Thanks Mike. Do you think your gunsmith would be willing to make one for me? If yes, would appreciate his contact info.

Glenn, contact Lou Rotelli in CT. He can make springs.

Got it, thanks a ton!

I have two. PM me with your address and I will send them to you. If they work $50 for both, $35 for one. If they don’t work just send them back plus actual cost for mailing.

Thanks David, your offer is great and I appreciate it!
My address is : 1530 Bent Hill | Santa Fe, NM 87501
Just let me know when you mail them and I'll keep an eye out for the package.
