Tuning Where to find rear sight spring?

[AndyKunz]

The spring inside the rear sight of my Beeman 1085 went on vacation and hasn't come back.

This is probably the same spring as any QB78 would have.

Does anybody know where to get a usable replacement? It flew so quickly I never got a chance to measure it.

Thanks.

Ballpoint pen spring cut to fit-?

The springs from bic lighters can be useful for this use, I know that one from the mini bic lighter replaces the one in the P17.

Agree with the two above posts-I've always disassembled anything I was discarding and saved screws, nuts, and springs. I now have a large container full of them and rarely need a spring that I can't find in it. Pens and lighters are cheap and their spings work for many gun applications.
