40X receiver filler spring

I need to get a receiver filler spring for a 40X. Anyone have a extra they want to sell or does anyone know where I can buy one. I have on and one end broke some metal off. So I just flipped it around and it works, for now. nilebartram
 
I'm with WK. It's got to have another name. I've got two high power 40Xs and on rimfire and can't figure out what you're talking
about. Enlighten please.
 
Center fire 40-X's do not use it. It fits behind a metal plate that sets in the left raceway to help keep 22 cartridge from rolling into that left raceway where the left bolt lug rides when bolt is closed. The spring sets behind this metal piece and is in an arch shape. When bolt is pushed forward it pushes this metal piece into the raceway. The spring pushes this small metal piece out when bolt is retracted.

Spring is #42 and metal piece spring sets behind is #41

Thanks Whirlwind. I never noticed that arrangement before. Comes from cleaning the action body with carb cleaner and WD40. Now that I know about it, Murphy will probably get in the act.
