Does anyone have a good source for coil compression springs for gunsmithing that are not chromium or nickle plated? I'm looking for springs with brown or grey colors from heattreatment, not modern looking shiny ones. Mc Master has a complete listing of different wire sizes, diameters and lengths but they're all shiny plated ones. Thanks.

Brownells has a good selection. I buy their big assortment pack. None are plated. Most are the bare cold worked finish from the rollers and drawing process with no coloring. If you want colored springs, I can't help.
