Do you actually have the original spring, or are you just looking for a the updated version?
Hello!
I'm restoring a Savage Edge 243 Win. I discovered it is the same as the "Axis" and on this site today I learned that the old one piece firing pin spring was at one point modified to a 2 spring system. It seems that no matter where I look, I am unable to find the spring. Do any of you know where I can purchase a replacement? Thank you! Nezter

I do have the original and yes, I'm looking for the updated version. The original is defective.
I ended up having a gunsmith call and order the 3 piece spring from Savage.
Would that be with the bolt open?
They won't take a set, and besides it's still compressed when de-cocked.

Someone is selling them on ebay for $19 shipped. I got a set last month for my creedmoor.
I tried to do a search on Ebay and came up empty handed.
Could give us a link...or PM me a link?
I bought a couple of the Axis bolt lift kits. The instructional video was with the one piece spring. So I "wing'd it" with a 2piece spring. He never mention the bearing set would not fit inside rear nut that holds the bolt together. At any rate I cut the back spring, well you need to cut the front spring. Which I really didn't want to do because the bearing is exposed. So now I need a rear firing pin spring.
send the username below a message on ebay. He sold three of them but looks like he's out of stock now.
