The return spring,on the nozzle broke. Is there anywhere to buy one or is it just as cheap to buy a whole new flask?

There are two different designs of that type of flask. I have one from CVA that has the traditional style (as was used on original powder flasks) and I'm assuming that is what you have? If so - as suggested, TOW or Dixie or CVA directly should be able to fix you up and it will be cheaper than buying a new flask.

The other style has a push button with a coil spring type valve - I don't recall who made the one I have. If you have that type and the coil spring "gave up" - check with a hardware store or n auto supply store to see what they have in a small coil spring that will work.

I'm guessing though that you have the "original style" flat curved spring.

For years, I never liked this style of flask - I preferred the traditional style flask but I was usually loading from a pouch. I ran across one of the tube flasks somewhere and picked it up as it was only a couple of dollars. I think I got it at a flea market. After using it, I got another one. I like them for loading from a bench. Easy to use, fit my hand well and sits up nice on a loading bench.
