Thats pretty much the problem, most places want you to order a minimum quantity.
bluenoser, if you are planning on ordering extra springs and selling them to people, please do not use my threads. I would love to help everyone out and keep organizing these but I don't have much time at the moment and AK made it very clear that he did not want to do another group buy. I suppose his reasoning is that a normal forum user is not a business so he doesn't want the forums being held liable for selling parts or anything.
The company I got the spring from is called LeeSpring, this is the spring here:
Lee Spring
Ordering 1 spring from them directly is pretty retarded however, it costs about $18 + shipping + $20 surcharge for ordering below minimum quantity, hence why I organized the group buys.
I would suggest using the spring dimensions listed on the page and trying to find something that's close but doesn't require the same ordering restrictions.
Stock rate is about 330lb/in so this particular spring is about 75% softer.
These are the dimensions that matter for size:
Outside Diameter: 1.23"
Inside Diameter: 0.87"
Free Length: 2.4"
Anything that's close to this will be fine.
