1971 Model 15-3

[ret1resoon]

I recently purchased an old (1971) model 15-3. Functionally very good, very little end play, strong lock up etc. but the last guy to own this did not have a very good set of screw drivers and all the screws (side plate, thumb piece, sight screw as well as grip screw) are all buggered. I can't seem to wade thru all the pages on Brownells or Midway to find replacements as there is too much info there and I cannot figure out how to refine my search.

Any suggestions?

Either use the search function on one of those sites , or just use the good old telephone. Those screws are readily available.

Try this link for Numrich Gun Parts (Smith & Wesson 15-4 Revolver Parts, Schematics | Numrich). It should take you right to the S&W Model 15 parts breakdown and they have the screws you need. I've used them a lot for used parts and you can shop by specific manufacturer and model.

Excellent link.
ret1resoon , please note that one of the side plate screws is also the "yoke screw" , and is different from the other side plate screws. Also , that yoke screw may require a bit of fitting ; you will know if the yoke binds when the screw is fully seated.
