Does anyone know where I could get the spring and screw for this patchbox. It's an investarms hawken .50 cal. I've emailed track and MBS and they are a no go.

Give muzzle_loaders.com a look. They sell new investarm rifles and parts.

Make one out of a hacksaw blade, I made one for a banana patchbox that was a lot more complicated than the Investarms spring.
Heat it, bend it and quinch it in oil, it will work.
The spring I made the same way. I am pretty sure I made the lid and the catch spring; I put the box on backwards by mistake and messed up the lid spring in the process. I may have repurposed the lid spring but I definitely made the catch spring.

Got ahold of muzzleloaders.com since they are a dealer and one of the salesman sold me the spring and screw. Said they normally don't sell them separately but shipped it to me for 10 dollars. Great customer service.
