FWIW, I purchased four new strikers from our forum sponsors this week and was very pleased. Ordered on Monday, with three day standard shipping and they were here already by Wednesday. I would strongly consider going that route, as they are only 15-20 bucks apiece (can't remember exactly and too lazy to look it up). I also ordered four new bolts (out of a total of eight). That was good, because a couple of them needed to be replaced after loosening and tightening a couple times.
