Not sure which spring you mean, or what you mean by "case"? If you mean the receiver, then you might be referring to the cartridge cutoff spring, or the lever spring? The lever spring is held by a screw just in front of the lever pivot screw, and keeps pressure on the lever, so it wont droop. The cartridge cutoff spring installs in the top of the receiver, with a screw through the top that holds it just behind the chamber. These are my best guesses, since i don't have good info.
