1952 Marlin 39A broken ejector spring

[StukaJU87]

Hello,
I am in desperate need of a replacement ejector spring for a Marlin 39A made in 1952. I still have the broken original flat spring but am unable to locate or fabricate a replacement.

I've tried the following websites:
Numrich - out of stock
Midwayusa - discontinued
Brownells - not listed
and a slew of other sites suggested from a quick google search. I even tried contacting Marlin/Remington as a last resort, all they could suggest was Numrich.

Thanks for any help.

Bob's gun parts might have what you need. They list parts for the 39A old model

Try Wisners Inc. They have the type I and type II for $23. A 1952 should takr the type I.

Marlin owners may be a good place to ask as well.

Update: Thanks for all the help, I was able to get a spring and install it. However, now I have a new problem.

The ejection of the brass is not very consistent. It is mostly ejected at the 3 or 4 o'clock position and about 4-6 feet away. Every now and then, it will throw some at the 5 o'clock position. When this happens, the brass tends to land only about a foot away.

I'm not sure if these inconsistencies are caused by the ejector, extractor, or something else. This rifle had always been reliable and consistent before the spring broke.
