I got this thing fixed. I went to another gun shop tonight that's more of a repair shop and reloading supplies. He said he didn't have a spring for a Marlin. Then I asked about the T/C springs. He told me he had one and went to get it. It was actually quite a bit longer. Maybe 1/2"-1" longer. However, it seemed to be the same size other than longer. We put it in and tried it and it shoots the caps great. A little hard to pull the handle back to cock it now due to the stronger spring but it shoots great.
Are there any downsides to using a longer stronger spring? I mean it slams closed now. I'm thinking the nipple may wear out faster but as long as it lasts a year or so at a time I'd be fine as long as it goes off. It seems to go off every time now.
