Winchester 94 44 Mag made 1968-1969 Need Spring.

[russ1943]

Does anyone have this series of the 94 in 44 Mag in the 32081xxM serial number range.  (Made in 1968-1969). I am the originial owner of the gun. It has a wire spring that rests on the right cartridge guide, that is not on any schematic. The spring broke and I looking to find one or have one made. I talked to the parts manger of Gun Parts, and several suppliers of obsolete Winchester parts, they remember the spring but don't have any, or a diagram. Without the spring the cartridges sometimes do not feed into the chamber and hit the top of it.  It looks like the spring puts just enough pressure on the back of the cartridge, to slightly tip the front of cartridge down so it will enter the chamber.

I tried a  new set of cartridge guides but it produces the same problem, and the guide for right did not have the hole for the spring.
Can anyone help? 

Thanks, I hate to make the gun a wall hanger as Winchester said, since it has only 200 rounds through it and it was the first rifle I owned and I took my forst deer with it.

Thanks for the response, but no luck finding the spring or diagram for the spring.
