Two ways to do this.
1)  Any of the sources listed above.  Quick and easy, but you still will have a CVA mainspring.  Odds are you will be needing another one before long.

2)  Have a good blacksmith make you one.  That will be a permanent solution to a typical problem.

Wish I had a dollar for every one of them CVA springs I have sold.

Fellow name of John Taylor has a machine shop and such in western WA.  He has made several of them, if I recall correctly.  He's a real sharp fellow when it comes to fixing guns right.

Sean,
        Try CVA at phone# 770-449-4687....This is their parts
dept and if they can't help could direct in the right direction.
Personally I would go with the Bigsmoke solution and have one made by John Taylor.Mainly cause that sounds like a permanent
solution. Just an opinion.

yep i would agree .  having one made  should result in a better spring then whats supplied by Dakar

I broke the mainspring in my CVA lock.  I have read that the mainsprings are crap.  Rather than replace the crap mainspring in a sub standard lock, I went the L&R replaement lock.  What a vast improvement and so easy to inlet in the existing mortise.  I thought it was the best investment.

Thanks for the replies you guys.  I will probably just go the cheap route.  For the amount that it gets shot, that may be better(its my daughters rifle, so use is sporadic.  Unless she really takes to the shooting stuff, then I will get teh L&R lock for it.
