2240 Rebuild Help

[flairgunner77]

I am rebuilding a 2240 using components from my parts bin. While I have the adjustable brass sear spring post, the spring has disappeared. I do not want to go to eBay and buy a whole new post and spring for $21 or a spring for around $8 so I would like to know if any members happen to know the Ace Hardware spring number that will work. I am a minor mechanical idiot so a specific spring description is best for me. I can bring the brass pieces to make sure the spring inside dimensions will fit the post, but length, number of coils and compression strength are missing from my understanding. Any help is appreciated.

Thanx - Dave B

I use one of the springs in the Ace collection.  Do not recall which though.
