Sorry, followup to my last post which was short and late in the day.
When I first acquired my 4513TSW, I sent it to S&W for a 'check-up.' They replaced both recoil springs, firing pin spring, just about all the others. I noted some of the springs I could easily see looked new, had colors! When they notified me by email about the return shipment, they also, in so many words, 'certified' it as worthy - without any promises of course. They even paid for the return shipping, and included a new replacement box label. I'm not sure why I got such great service; perhaps they saw that it was originally shipped to my brother's department?
Then about 3-4 yrs ago I went through my 4513TSW and added a few of the non-stressed springs and few smaller parts, mostly since I had stopped shooting it and was between jobs. I still have a couple of parts in the bag, and there are still a few parts available to add to the parts bag. In fact just last week I was in the process of choosing which to add to my shopping cart.
