With the long absence of the Model 24, it may be inevitable that the parts for replacing broken may disappear. Does anyone have opinions / experience with a list of parts that we should have on hand ?

I had a hammer selector break and my 222 firing pin broke.
I don't have spare parts, I have spare guns.

I will give this request a starting point for other to chime in.
1. First and foremost schematics of your specific model gun including part numbers. This will help you in the disassembly and reassembly of your gun. 2. Various sizes of springs that can be cut to length or at least spring material to make springs. I have a home made spring former. 3. Various sizes of screws for wood and metal. 4. Metal round stock of various sizes to make pins. 5. Shotgun and rifle firing pins. In a pinch I have formed a rifle firing pin from a shotgun firing pin. 6. Extractors seem to be a major part that fails so I keep a spare. Note - the combo guns will usually function without an extractor. I just makes it hard for the shooter to remove spent cases. 7. Hammer strut/guide. I had one fail and these are had to find for the early Stevens 22/410's.
If I order a replacement part that had previously failed and I can get two and that they are reasonably priced I order two keeping one for a spare thinking of potential future failures of the same part.
I purchase "parts" guns, rusted or non-functional junkers that no one wants at very reasonable prices for spares of my working guns. Especially those with stocks and/or forearms in good shape.
Lastly, an updated contact list of parts suppliers.

When I ordered the rifle firing pin, I bough 2.
I also bought shotgun firing pins by accident.
