Do you mean stock links or after market?  You can buy a short stroke kit cheaper than buying "new" stock Uberti links from a parts dealer.  If you are looking for stock links call a smith that does action jobs on toggle guns and they will have boxes of take outs from installing short strokes.  I just threw out about fifteen sets of them.

Got a name of someone I can contact? I have bought new made from Buffalo arms but they are out. I also got a set from someone ells but can't remember who. Isn't great to get old and forget things. I'm in need of two sets and won't buy from Buckingham.

Hmm, I'm thinking he needs them for an original.  The previous responses were about Uberti links.

Yesh, if he is mentioning Buckinghams.   Poster, you need to be more specific about what you are looking for.

sorry, should have said Winchester. If I were working on an import I would have called VTI. I found a set and have them on the way. Thanks to everyone who tried to help.

Pettifogger; If you in the future again have an over abundance of stock links I would like to purchase a couple of pair from you to keep in my spare parts bin.
Sierra Sue and myself shoot NCOWS and as such run stock toggle links in our Uberti 1866's.

Got the toggle links from Dick Williams Gun Shop for less than half what Buffalo arms wanted.
