Tom is right. I get parts guns in to repair and restore all the time that have missing parts like the locking bolt spring or a hold open spring that is not working right, usually because it is NOT an original part. Trigger lever/side plate that don't work right because they have not been fitted to the gun they now reside on. Remember these guns were originally built up from hand fitted parts by people that knew what they were doing. Buy a matched finish worn shooter gun if you can find one. You will be money ahead in the long run IMO.
