Thank you,both, for the info.
Or just buy a small roll of .045" piano wire and bend your own. Then you'll have plenty of extra wire leftover if you ever want to make another spring later.
I bought a 1 lb. roll back maybe 25 years ago for $5 then, and still making springs off the roll. Another tip when reducing trigger pull. While the lower tang is off push the trigger pivot pin out and use a good oil like Kroil on the pin and trigger. A bit on the sear tip also. Then when before you install the trigger spring bend it slightly to match the shape of the old spring.
Doing the piano wire spring, and oiling will usually take a 12 lb. military trigger down to around 3 lbs.
Pull the wire out of a lawn mower throttle cable and you will have enough wire to make many RB trigger springs.
