Blackdragon, thank you for those links!
http://sksparts.com/ looks to be quite expensive for many items - especially for those where there are only a few left. Presumably these are all new parts from Intratec's stock and may be worth the premium. $45 for a striker and $25 for a firing pin! Then again, if I was selling something in demand but which is no longer produced and in very short supply - I'd charge a lot too.
http://www.e-gunparts.com/ is a lot cheaper, especially on firing pins BUT since on parts they are out of they state: "We frequently purchase new & used parts from many sources." I wonder if the lower prices reflect used parts such as $15 for a firing pin. This is especially a factor on the firing pin since I'm getting a light strike on a few percent of factory ammo - perhaps due to a blunted, rounded firing pin (as compared to the one in my DC9 which has been jam and misfire free).

Are there any other parts that folks here feel are wise to get extras of besides firing pin, extractor, & operating handle (both outfits are out of stock on recoil and striker/firing pin springs).
