Give me your e-mail nd I'll get with you. Assuming you have an R framed gun (one machine screw at the rear of the lockplates, the left barrel counter-bored so the head sits flush, I will send you one w/o boogered threads, all I ask is two things: (1) You keep that fine Smith and send it to my pal Buck Hamlin in MO-I'll give you his address and phone number, as Buck does NOT travel on this Al Gore invented internet highway- and (2) you reimburse me just the shipping cost to get you this essential part- Two caveats here- as you may be new to L.C. Smiths-(1) do not fire your gun with that stripped machine screw in place, the locks and plates must be locked into exact position to function and re-cock properly- and also, in case you are not aware, do not remove the forearm and barrels on your gun from the receiver unless the hammers are cocked back. As Smiths didn't have cocking indicators like some LeFevers and first series Ithaca NID's== just remove the forearm and see if the cocking cranks that extend from the front of the receiver "nose" wiggle- if they do, the hammers are cocked--RWTF--e-mail me directly at dsmorin@hotmail.com--
