Two POSSIBLE sources come to mind (the 146B has been out of production for a long time now) gunpartscorp.com, which is Numrich Gun Parts, and havlinsales.com.

Different places. Some smiths have independent shops, some work at a shop located at a gun dealer or a shooting range. Some smiths work for large sporting goods stores, such as Gander Mountain, Bass Pro Shops, etc, and some work for gun makers, performing repair work. Smiths may also be known as Armorers, and are members of the military, or work for law enforcement agencies.
