HELP! Launched my bolt plunger/spring...

[2hawk]

OK, complete brainfart as I was doing a disassembly to get the lint out of my 649-3. I did not cover the bolt plunger & spring as I removed the bolt, away it went - and into a large pile of crap in the corner of the basement, mostly boxes of xmas stuff, it appears.

After 3 hours of searching to no avail, I'm ready to order- but I don't see any listings at either the Brownells or Midway sites.

Anyone know where I can find replacements?
Parts 3 and 4 in the schematic.

Thanks in advance!

I would just call S&W. They'll probably send you these parts free.

Thanks, Hoptob-

I think I found it at Brownells: BROWNELLS : SMITH & WESSON : Bolt Plunger/Sear Spring (940-070-200) - World's Largest Supplier of Firearm Accessories, Gun Parts and Gunsmithing Tools

And, I may just call S&W to cover myself. Not that this would ever happen again ;Q

Rent or borrow one of those roofing nail magnets and go through the stuff it should come right out to the magnet.

order spares as brain farts are a re-occurring event.

my garage probably has enough springs and detents on the floor to start a parts supply.

Brownells has them. I have bought a ton of S&W parts from them. If you can't find it, call and ask to talk to a tech. They will get you taken care of.

I have a few of them around here, just I can't find them either....

I completely understand

Looks like I'll be on the phone to Brownell's Monday.

Thanks, All

I like to use a large clear plastic bag to disassemble, any part that flies off cannot go far and remains in the bag.
My 2¢.

Call S&W They are the most reasonable. I lknow, there's one in my shot ... somewhere...
