These days, I'll often buy a whole cut up seizure gun just because I need one or two parts. some of the smallest, simplest S&W parts are nearly extinct for the pre-mim guns. Try finding crane screws, hammer noses, rivets and bushings, some of the ejector rods, many trigger styles, etc.. The stuff is dwindling away fast & its getting less & less fun to work on them each year because of all the lost hours spent hunting down those damn parts.
