WTB: band spring for 1842

Does anyone have a front band spring for a model 1842 musket? Preferably an original, or at least a high quality repro. The ones that usually come with the repros are too crappy.

I got a really heavy, good quality front band spring from Dixie Gun Works. I was surprised at the quality.

I got mine from Ed Knisley (original parts Sutler) 717-741-2556

you can also try Nick Brevoort (Gator Den) 513-232-7045

Hope this helps

I'll give them a try. Many thanks.
