Box call springs in a pinch?
« on: January 18, 2023, 11:53:24 AM »
Can any of you call makers recommend a spring for box calls I can find at a big chain hardware store or the like? I ordered some springs from Dad's Monday, not sure when they'll arrive. I'm working on 4 calls right now and have to swap the one spring and screw I have from an old Lynch call between the builds. It's kind of a pain! Looking for a sufficient spring locally until the stockpile arrives. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you have a menards they have small springs in stock. They are usually too long and need trimmed down. 1 spring is good for 2 calls usually.

They'll work good enough to get them close until my order shows up and I can put a finish and  final tune on them.

Thank you.
