What do you call the round metal piece on the inside of a S&W revolver medallion wood stock that keeps the piece from rotating on the grip? I have a J-frame that is missing one. Is there a source for replacements?

It has been really hot recently if you haven't noticed. I noticed the grip screw on my airweight j-frame was getting some rust, so I took it out and removed the rubber grip. Under the grip the was wormy pattern in the finish. I cleaned the gun and oiled it, but the wormy corrosion is permanent...
