You can get your parts directly from S&W. The thumbpiece is 13.51 and the nut is 3.01. I had to buy those parts plus the bolt which is 22.00 on their site. I found one on Gunbroker for 9.00 delivered. I bought my Model 65 with the bolt broke, and thumbpiece and nut missing. I wonder if they...

I have 600 rounds of Norinco steel core in the yellow boxes, 30 boxes of 20 for sale at $300.00. Reduced to 290.00 I also have 480 rounds of Russian hollowpoint for $90.00. Reduced to 80.00. These are in 20 rd. boxes and come 6 boxes to a battlepack. I have 4 of these. One has been opened just...
