Where can I find a new recoil spring for my STG 58?

DSA has them in the catalog.
Possibly TAPCO

Get the DSA replacement spring set for a few bucks more.
Well worth it.

The DSA spring sets are new, as opposed to the used ones which you now have. I learned the hard way to always replace the recoil spring as part of any parts kit build. The difference in length of a new spring and the last one from an Imbel kit was approx. 1.2 in! And since Tapco is selling new mag. springs there is no reason not to put in good quality parts. It will save you time and a bad attitude later.
