To the best of my recollection since I bought my very first double barrel shotgun 61 years ago I have been "Burned" by exactly one mainspring failure & it was a coil. It didn't break but lost it's "Spring" so only one barrel would fire until it was replaced. I have had a couple of V top lever springs to break, but so far not a Main Spring.
