Default Lost my bolt return spring.
Today I was taking my bolt apart for cleaning after a .22 match and, lo and behold, the stupid bolt return spring launched itself off of the guide rod to some mysterious dimension that I apparently don't have access to. I can't find a replacement anywhere online. Any suggestions?

I was really surprised to see that none were available anywhere.

Hunting season starts early for you then...i remember once launching my extractor spring clear across the front room, it luckily landed right in the middle of a cushion, after taking numerous ricochets off of the curtains, the TV, the wall and the floor.
lesson learned
