Contender not firing

It’s a easy open G1 frame. My first thought was it needed a new lug spring. Took it apart and it was very dirty in the lug/spring housing. Cleaned it up and it seemed better. Before cleaning it would not let the hammer all the way down, now it will but only if it’s unloaded. I noticed the extractor is jumping the rim and not letting it pick up the case upon extraction. Since I didn’t have a spring to replace that one, I’m still gonna replace it and I need an extractor lift spring. Where can these be purchased? It is a Reeder 257 Raptor barrel but I assume it takes the same spring and lifter as every other contender barrel. Forgot to mention it is a two piece lug.
