Gun Parts Co. (Numrich) uses their own numbering system instead of S&W part numbers.
John
So in other words, 1851460 is a GPC number and not an S&W number?

OK, here's what I found when I removed the old extractor:
I don't have an experienced eye, but it does not look to me like the broken one was filed right behind the hook. Dimensionally, they are close:
The new one comes in at 0.229" across;
the broken one at 0.225".
Do you think I can just replace the broken one and range test it? Would you use the new spring, without knowing the specifications of it?

Figured I owed an update, since I benefitted so much from the thread. I just finished replacing the extractor on my 659. Wasn't too hard. I had a replacement spring from GPC/Numrich which I put in, and I'll take it to the range tomorrow to see how it works.
I can totally relate to the OP. While I was working the extractor pin got away from me. I searched and searched. Turned out it hadn't left the table, but was covered up. I actually have a replacement pin on-hand which I ordered from GPC/Numrich. But I had another similar pin in the same order and they were unmarked, so I wasn't sure which was which.
Anyway, I am very grateful for the experience and wisdom shared here. Really helped. Thanks so much for it.

Great informative post!

Due to my mild OCD, if I have a gun that I'm really fond of, I try to obtain a fairly complete spare parts "set" to go with it, paying particular attention to finding and keeping the parts most likely to wear out or break (think "consumables"). I like to buy a more or less complete "parts kit" when possible, and if I have to use a part try to replace the spare with a new one ASAP. Doesn't always work, but usually I'm safe!
OK, so maybe it's not mild OCD!
