The earlier model Stevens 22/410 and Savage 22/20 only had a spring on the rifle firing pin. Later models like the Savage 24C and 24D had both a shotgun and rifle firing pin spring, but Savage models 24E, 24H, 24J, etc. only had rifle firing pin springs. So it depends on what model you have. If you can tell me what model 22/20 you have I can check the schematics to let you know if there is a shotgun firing pin spring or not.

Per the schematic the Savage 24S 22/20 shows a firing pin spring for both the rifle and shotgun firing pins. The firing pin springs are the same part number, key number: 8, part number: 24-83.
ADDED: The spring is very small, it fits over the nose of the firing pin, is maybe 3-4 coils at most, and open at both ends. In the past someone on this board used a spring cut down from a retractable ball point pen.

If you need a small coil spring for most anything, don't forget you can make one from piano wire, guitar spring, fishing leader. etc.

I used a pen spring for my 222 firing pin. I could have used one from a BIC lighter, its smaller in OD than a pen spring. Just a couple coils are all I used.

Glad to hear you have resolved the spring issue.
