Hello everybody i just got myself a omega model 220 in 22lr it only fires half the time i think due to a weak hammer spring, its not coil or flat so i have no idea where to find one so if anyone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. thanks[/url]

Like many fo these German guns, Omega's were made in the 60's by the Gerstenberger & Eberwein Co. in what was then West Germany. The ones I have seen appear to be similar to the RG models, but better made. I am currently working on one (or supposed to be) for a friend. I've had it for several months and just haven't gotten to it. I'm not familiar with the model 220.

See if your guns is one of these:http://www.e-gunparts.com/model.asp?idDept=185 Spring appear to bein stock.

Look at the schematic in our TEch section: If the spring in your Omega looks an RG spring, try Bob's Gun Parts. http://www.gun-parts.com/rohm/

here is a link to the picture of the actual gun , if i can figure out how to insert an image i will post a pic of the spring, i tried bending the spring out but it only kept it running for a little while, does anybody have an idea on how to keep a spring stretched out? i have been told that heating it till it turns red then dipping it in used motor oil will give it its life back. Thanks for all the help everybody. http://www.auctionarms.com/search/displayitem.cfm?itemnum=9110032

Tempering it might work. Worth a try before you order a new one.

Also: I highly recommend you do this outdoors. The oil will smoke something awful.
