Being a bit OCD and at times looking for a challenge, tonight I pursued the 10/22 possibility. The extractor spring for the 10/22 appears to be the same for the mkii pistol and possibly the mkiii Ruger. Anyhow, it looks very similar to the S&W spring to include same number of coils. I did find that the 10/22 spring comes in 3 different sizes (lengths most likely depending on year model however I find only one standard length). Ordered 2 from Midway moments ago and will post my findings. If nothing else, I have a 10/22 so no biggie. It'll be great if it works because it's readily available from several locations. If Ruger wants to furnish parts for my 15-22 in S&W's absence, so be it.
