Bill: I looked in Arthur Pirkle’s –
Winchester Lever Action Repeating Firearms and it ‘looks’ as those there is no size difference for the springs between the ’73 and ’76 originals. Also, I have spoke with Nick Ecker at Charter Arms and he informed me that the ’76 Chaparral’s are a 99.99% clones of the originals.
I and many others have the Chaparral ’76 – so am willing to take gracious your offer. Good possibility that a Group purchase order could be in the making …

Subject: RE: Whisper Spring Set Interchangeability
Howdy John Boy,
I am not sure if the '73 Whisper Springs fit the '76 however I have received a couple of e-mails from customers that have told me they installed the WS's in their '76 Chaparrals. If you would like to try a set I'll be glad to send a set to you with an invoice. If they fit just send me a check, if not just send them back.
Just need your mailing address.
Thanks for the inquiry,
Hap
