Looking for a Magazine spring for M70 SE (.375 H&H). Anyone have any ideas to source a new spring (or perhaps one that might only need minor adjustment to fit)? Want to say rifle was manufactured in early 2000s. Haven't been able find a direct replacement.

Think I remember reading some posts here about folks swapping M70 for sturdier Mauser springs. Thought some of you folks might have ideas of where to find a spring I could make work.
 
I have purchased them in the past from Midwest gun works and Numrich. My .375 H&H model 70 classic has the same spring as my .300 win mag. I do a lot of messing around with model 70s and have interchanged springs between the old New Haven ones in the newer North Carolina and have not had any issues. Both of the ones I have linked below show them as being in stock at this time.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .

I have quite a bit of 458 win mag brass, most of it new. How much are you looking for?
