I sold my first Purdey for a similar reason. Broken mainspring and over a 1 year and half to replace. I love the Purdey action but not only is the mainspring difficult to replace but I was told by an experienced gunsmith that figuring out what is not working right is difficult as it can be the swivel, compressor, kicker, rod that runs through action etc.
