I have a Uberti pepperbox with a broken mainspring. Numrich has none. Any idea where I might find a replacement mainspring?

Good try, but no cigar. Dixie only has one screw available.

Somewhere I think I heard it could (?) use either a stock or modified Remington Pocket revolver mainspring? Maybe?

No, that was wrong. I can now tell you that that particular model was actually made by IAB for Uberti, among others. You might have to search for another complete gun.

S&S looks promising. I emailed them to ask if their spring will fit the Uberti replica. I found a spare S&W J frame mainspring in my junk drawer; I may be able to rebend it to make it fit. Awaiting a response from S&S....

Bought pn JA118A from S&S (see link above). They warned it would require some fitting; tweaked the spring and trimmed about .10" off the length. Test fired and it works! Thanks for the help.
