Bolt plunger for a j fram

[Godly70]

Howdy all, new here. I was cleaning my 442 the other night, probably should not have been at that time, I went to remove the bolt as there was a little bit of "sludge" there and silly me forgot to block the plunger when I lifted it out. I got down and combed every inch of everything and can not find it. I messaged s&w and guess what, out of stock. Checked midwest, brownells, all out of stock. This is the only pistol I own. So I am sitting here with a non fuctional revolver and no way to fix it. Can anybody help me? Trying to find a bolt plunger for a 442, just the plunger, I have the spring. Thank you all

Comb the area with the biggest magnet you can find. Harbor freight should have something that would work.
This technique has saved my bacon a number of times.

Also comb areas you think the item could not possibly have flown/bounced to.

When I was a teenager I would watch Zacherly on weekend nights. During his intermissions he did skits. I remember one of his skits he dropped somethins very small on the floor and couldn't find it so he took off his shoes and socks and felt around the floor for it. Your feet are very sensitive and will feel things better than your hands. So take off you shoes and socks and get started feeling around the floor.

If you can't find it
Email me at [email protected] and give me your mailing address and I'll drop one in an envelope free of charge.
I have been there MANY times and I understand the spot you are in.
