Last week a friend brought in what he called a "new in box" American Western Arms "Longhorn" 357 that he bought at a public auction. Seems that it was missing an ejector rod spring which I had in stock. However, he failed to notice that the cylinder didn't rotate when the hammer was pulled back. I tore it down and found the hand spring to be completely missing.

I'm fairly sure the leaf spring from a Colt or Uberti will work. My problem is, I can't seem to find one. Brownell's is sold out.

Anybody have one to sell or know where I can buy one? Please email any info to my email: spriggie@yahoo.com

Thanks for any and all help.

if its a typical colt style single action, try dixie gun works. the hand and spring should be the same one that is used on the black powder style percussion revolver. dixie has the best prices on the single action parts that I have found. good luck

Uberti of Italy probably will fit also. Midway has them.

Cimarron Arms carries many single action parts.
