My Bernadelli O/U has a broken hammer spring. What are my prospects for getting a new one made? The spring shown it the drawing is cracked at the bend.

  Save the pieces.
  It's an odd rather than a generic style spring but not complicated to make. It can be made up from softened spring stock then hardened and tempered.
  What you need besides the broken parts is the thickness, width and developed length to have someone copy it. Measure thickness accurately with a micrometer.
  Brownells and maybe Dixie gun works should have spring stock.
  A Gunsmith, toolmaker machinist, or blacksmith should be able to form one up and heat treat it for you.

  You may be able to get it MIG or TIG welded and not even have to retemper it.

  Why don't you just get one from Bernardelli?
