Yup, great bone of contention, stopping production of THE most successful BP revolver of all time, regardless of era. And then, in spite of the ten-year spares rule, stopping sales of spare parts that were unique to the ROA.
Luckily, as many here know, I can still get correct s/s hex nipples and wrenches from my source in PACNW, at a price that makes them more like bits of threaded metal rather than portions of the Crown Jewels...
