You might try Brownells or Wolf springs.

Hi Lencac, sorry for the wee highjack, but what sort of safeties are those you have on them? I like the look of them. The rifles are pretty nice too.

Shinz you can get those low scope safety at Numrich Gun Parts Corp. They are listed for any of the 1903 models.

Having replaced a bunch of old mainsprings, I can recommend the lightest mainspring Wolff makes, the 20 pound spring. I have installed heavier, but the bolt lift becomes objectionable. I have a 30 pounder in one rifle, the force of impact is so much that the cocking piece nose is peened.

As a general rule, old mainsprings are a shadow of themselves. I regularly replace them with new mainsprings, and I can tell the difference in lock time and trigger pull.
