I second the question. Does anyone want to share the Grainger part number for this spring?

found the following in an earlier post :

Looking at the same project on another site, I see the Grainger spring identified as: #54MY45. It's 31 inch/pounds. I haven't ordered one, yet, but may need to after I check out my newly arrived (and not yet picked up) 30-30. I understand they sell them in lots of 10, with shipping it'll be around $30.00. Hopefully, one of the guys who have actually done the modification will chime in and confirm this for us.

I have some extra springs I would send you one if you PM me your address. I think ESquared also has some not sure. Maybe he will chime in. No sense buying a bag of 10 if you need one. Not sure which SS model you have early or later as they can also be a little finicky with the lighter spring. I think Evan ended up using a 38 lb spring in his.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

This is the package and part number from Grainger. I tried this mod on 2 SS’s. Neither my .223 or .308 would discharge consistently. I have all 10 springs if anyone wants to try it. Let me know and I’ll send you one. $4.00 each. I posted a proper trigger tune procedure using all the original springs that brings the trigger to around 3lbs. I would highly recommend trying this first. Very simple to perform. Thanks. Good luck.
