I found a nice old S&W in the store today. Looks like, and I suppose it is, an old S&W M-1917, but chambered for .455 Eley. The gentleman I got it from told me it had been reworked to take .45LC rounds. Of course it's a 5-screw, and the screw at the top of the side plate, (Closest to the rear sight), is missing. Does anyone know a supplier for those old Smith side plate screws.
I have another, an old M-10 , 5 screw, and when I put it in the shop for a tune up a few years ago I aske the Gunsmith to replace the screws. He repaired them instead...made 'em look just like new. He also told me he didn't know where to find the old screws. I am hoping someone knows of a place to buy them. I've emailed Brownells and Numrich but I don't know if they'll have them.
Thanks
