Parts can be tough to come by, but they generally are available. Try Gun Parts Corporation.
Ammo is another matter. It can be virtually impossible to find shooting quantities of .35 WSLR. It didn't last very long, as it was seen as too expensive and too under powered for just about anything.
Ammo was produced up through the 1930s, but was, I think, dropped in the run up to World War II and not restarted.

If you have access to a lathe, .35 SL can be made from .357 Magnum brass. The case has to be trimmed to 1.15" with a case trimmer, then the lathe used to reduce the rim to .405" and cut the extractor groove. It is something of a PITA, but I once did 50 and after a while it is sort of automatic. Took about three hours, as I recall, once I got set up.
The bullet is .351" diameter, but I used lead .355" (9mm) bullets and they worked OK. I loaded them using .38 Special dies, but you have to be careful with the shell holder since the rim is smaller than the .38 Special.

.35wsl
I have a mod 1905 in .32wsl and the best price for .32wsl was buffalo arms. If your into reloading they also sell dies and components for all the wsl cal. Good luck on the mag. they are hard to find and expensive. I found two mags and 30 rounds for $100 through a friend of a friend who knew somebody else.

I didn't realize that ammo was now available from so many sources.
Old Western Scrounger gone
Just a note. In my search, I found Old Western Scrounger
to be out of business. Some type of law suite was suggested.
But the website is down.
http://www.ows-ammo.com/
I am writing http://www.gadcustomcartridges.com $25 for 20 and
www.buffaloarms.com has them also, $39 for 20.
I am pursuing both.
Thanks for the input.
I am beginning to check ebay for a clip. Maybe I can find one.
