First off, thanks to CrazyFingers for posting up the patent application. I took the patent document and striped out the images and did some editing and added the known S&W Part Numbers. If anyone has any PN's not listed on this diagram PM me and I will update the document.

Thanks.

Now we just need a website where we can order spare parts online...

I know, I know , One step at a time....

Baby Steps!

It's Death Therapy, Bob.

Any updates on where to get spare parts?
My firing pin is broken and I'd like to get a new one.

Call S&W Customer Service and give them the part number.

They won't ship internationally, I already tried.

So, how did your 15-22 get to Finland?

Yea.

Have your dealer order a new one of have a local machine shop make one. S&W is the only source, as far as I know.

Through an import company.
They seem to be unable to get any spare parts from S&W.

The import company's gun smith is, or so I've heard, gonna make me a new one.

But it would be nice to be able to get original parts.

Might have them make a couple for you.

Have a friend mail you one from their country.

I think this sounds like a great option.

long story short....Check the US ITAR regulations..... any company or individual without an "export license" or waiver caught sending weapon/gun parts overseas can be in violation of US federal law.

Google ITAR ... recently a leading retailer was hit with a big fine for selling/sending US red dot optics (Even thou parts are made in the PRC...go figure).

I suspect S&W doesn't want to deal ITAR for parts.

Best COA, have a Finnish gunsmith fabricate a couple of new firing pins.

Forewarned is foretold.

Aim small,

PS. I'm in a profession of providing products and services outside of the USA and I work ITAR actions.

Anything I say or write about guns, or gun laws, is not something that can be construed as reliable, or correct, information that came from a sane mind, or body, of someone who purportedly knows anything about laws or regulations that may, or may not, result in a person, or persons, being fined, imprisoned, or waterboarded to death. With that said, I declare myself to be legally insane and can not be held legally liable for any misinformation that I may have spread knowingly, or not, in regards to any state, federal, or international laws.

ITAR is a paint in the butt. And I honestly don't think it'll do SQUAT. All it is doing is preventing individual owners from buying things they want.

I'm fairly sure any decently connected insurgent group can buy what they want, regardless of ITAR.

If someone like the PRC really wants a part, they will go to the States, buy and ship it. The chances of catching them? Probably zero.

So how much am I gonna have to pay one of you to send me a .223 M&P15 in parts to the uk lol

I'll put one in my pocket and give it to you at the airport. But, you'll have to pay for my airfare.

If you've got that in your pocket I don't think airfare will be an issue lol but can you pick me up a toblerone on the in flight please

Bring two and I'll split the cost of the flight with ukm@p AND provide you with beer for the duration of your stay! (either that weak, water State-side beer or the proper European stuff!)
