It appears that after 100 years of very heavy use, the recoil spring in my Model 1900 American Eagle no longer has the 'poop' to completely chamber rounds. Is there a source for replacements for these flat recoil springs? Are they stamped, serial# or otherwise? I have seen mention of having to 'tune' replacement recoil springs for the later (coil) models, is this necessary for the flat springs as well?
