645 my first auto loader My 645 was carried on duty for several years and never failed to function. Before I traded for the 645 I loaded a mag with live round and alternating with a empty brass and the 645 would feed the empty brass into chamber after every live round was fired. After this test...

About 20 miles north of Birmingham is the only place I know of him being around. Never down in that area that I ever heard of but I guess he could have been down there.:cool:

Still waiting on my order of early style extractor rod and found just the rod end listed here at: https://www.gunpartscorp.com/Products/1053840.htm

The later style that they have listed looks different on the end from the early model that I ordered. Have never received the wrong part from them in the past so hope my luck holds out. They said it was the early style and the photo looks like the one that screws off but I'll know for sure when...

Found the extractor rod (with knobon the end) listed at gunpartscorp(dot)com for &13.75 SKU: 1488460 if anyone else might need one. It was in stock and just ordered one from them (Numrich) I have found many old gun parts and would recommend anyone needing older gun parts to try them.:)

Thanks, guy:) I will try Jack if I don't find one I can always try to make one on my lathe if all else fails. I think that I found a part for an old Parker shotgun at JackFirst several years ago.

Only have one 8 3/8 S&W so it had to be the biggest, a 500 and I love it!:)

Thanks, Mike I will look until I find one if there is one out there to be had. Mike

I will look on eBay and a couple other places until I find it! Thanks,:) Mike

Thanks Mike Would love to have that on the ejector rod if someone had one they could part with. It has been missing since I first shot the gun in the 1950's. The round butt makes the gun a real pleasure to shoot and still love it today. Mike
