G-22

[simobros]

Hello forum members! Had a computer crash and lost a bunch of stuff and never got back on the forum, but I hope to be a regular visitor from now on...
Here's my problem that I hope the members can help me with. I accepted a Walther G-22 rifle as partial payment for a snowblower I had for sale. The gun was filthy dirty inside from lack of any care, so I disassembled it to clean it. Even though I was aware of the two tiny springs that are easily lost, during reassembly, the compression spring that operates the magazine safety squirted out of the tweezers and was lost.
Does anyone know where I can obtain replacement springs?
I left the lever out for the mag safety and the guns works fine except for the lost feature, but I'd like to get it back to 100%.
Any help would be appreciated....

Hello members-I knew it was kind of an oddball question about an obscure gun marketed by S&W but I figured I'd give it a shot...Not that surprised that I got no replies. The good news is that I found out through one of the members on the Walther forum that you can use a spring out of a disposable butane lighter cut down to the proper length! I did and it seems to work fine...Just wanted to pass it on in case it's useful to other members.
