    Thanks all for the help and information. I'm going to a gun show this afternoon and if I can find one I'll let you know, if not and you have a spare I'd be happy to accept your offer.


    Thanks again -

    I just looked and found two. Both measure 17" length. I'll bet they're from 870 Remington that was converted with a mag extension. I'd just send it in a bubble envelope.

    Thanks very much for your offer Jim. I'm not sure what to do till I can confirm the actual length of trench gun mag springs. I may be able to just cut the original down since most of it is usable less an inch.

    Then you should actually be OK. It only needs to be full length, you aren't going to the battle field with it. Maybe just local protection. It'll work for that.
