A5 Carrier latch spring needed

Hlp needed please...I am looking for one of these carrier latch spring assemblys. It is from an early model Browning A5. Does anyone have spares or knows of any one with spares. Your help will be much appreciated as at the moment I can not use my A5. Thanks

I'll write this down on my want list should I run across it in my travels...

Thanks Shooter 13. Much appreciated...

MidwayUSA carrys a fair amount of A5 parts. They sell the carrier latch assembly for less than twenty bucks. If you haven't located one yet, give them a try.

Thanks for the reply Coonrod...

The Carrier Spring changed from receiver mounted to a smaller trigger plate mount in (I think) 1958. The Field Service Manual has instructions on how to use the new spring in the old guns. The FSM is available for free download from Midwest Gun Works.

I successfully modified a Remington Model 11 spring a couple years ago. Soon after, Wolff Gunsprings ran a batch of Browning springs. I ordered a couple but haven't tried them. They may require fitting.

Good luck.

Thanks for the tip Rudolph...

are we talking about the carrier spring or the carrier LATCH spring? (two different things)

Ah -- I should have RTFQ. Midwest Gun Works should have what you need.

After my last visit to the Midway USA website, I believe that they are getting out of the A5 parts business. Most of their A5 parts now are being listed "special order", or out of stock. Thanks Rudolph 31 for mentioning Midwest Gun Works. I didn't know about them. I used them to order a cartridge stop and was really pleased with their service.
