Newbie, Thrown Into The Luger World By Accident

I know it is hard to believe, but the rust is mainly exterior. Internally, there is a spot or two, here and there, but surprisingly clean. When I have the trigger bar in my hand, the plunger moves easily. If I push it down with a finger and release, the plunger is in contact with my finger all the way up, no matter how fast I move. But my finger is different from a fired round. While cleaning this thing up, the trigger bar would always be falling out. It moves easily. I'm totally ignorant in these matters, but it does sound like a weak plunger spring to me. Assuming it is, and those things are as hard to find as I'm hearing, is there a substitute?

Edit to add, I've put about fifty rounds through this pistol while bringing it back to life. So, I've had it apart a few times. Nothing has been filed, including the firing pin.
