I created an opportunity for a metalworking project. After a bit of

red **** hair of aligned and ready to poke the pin when ... PING! That
spring is now orbiting Fargo for all I know. Oh darn! I had a
plastic bag right there at hand but I thought I wouldn't need to work
in a bag to keep track of that little ****ant spring. Wrong-o!

So now I need to make a spring from my memory of what that spring
looked like. I can probably eventually get one from Savage or
Brownell's or someone but I want to get this rifle back in service so
I can see how it shoots.

Which spring was it?

The one that returns the bolt release thingy. The terminology in
Savage documentation I've found calls it something to do with sear
which is obviously wrong since it has nothing to do with the sear.
