It shouldn't be that tough to do. I'll pull one of mine, calculate a spring constant and measure the diameter and uncompressed length and see what I can find on McMaster Carr. Once we find it, we'll stick the P/N in the FAQ as the "Adam and Brian magical replacement extractor spring!"
There's absolutely no reason these things should be this hard to find!
That would be awesome RM, maybe I can round something up this weekend. I went ahead and sent my check off to Omega. I ordered two, so I can put one away to forget where at when I have another bonehead accident. We will see when it shows up.
Yea, no kidding, millions of these rifles, and yet, nobody has this one goofy spring. I'm sure in a far away land in a rat infested, crack whore over run, pimp palace warehouse is a big azz box of extractor springs.
Until then the magical replacement extractor spring, with added bonus parts

GM- I already ordered on of those for $179 last week, I must of known I was going to need some parts...
Something to consider though it isn't much help at the moment Brian. My wife ordered a spring kit (10 springs I think @ $25) a while back off eBay to replace springs in some of our guns. Shipping was free.
In fact I plan to order at least one more to have on hand!
Danny, do you have a link to this spring kit off ebay? I looked through there this morning, and I could find a extractor spring, but it came with and extractor and a bolt...
