What's the best way to farm weapon parts? (Destiny)

After all the reforging/upgrading that has been going on, I didn't realize that my weapon parts stockpile was plummeting. Any advice on how to renew my stockpile?

If you have a lot of glimmer, you could buy weapons from the gun smith and dismantle them.

I usually swim in green engrams on patrols though. I would say go patrol and vault most of the weapons you normally carry, that way you can carry more weapon engrams while running around.

(Because, if you had say, only one free special weapon slot, but there are two special weapon engrams on the ground, you'll only be able to pick up one of them, and if they aren't blue, they won't go to the post master.)

Yeah, I didn't know if it was best to farm glimmer, and then buy weapons to dismantle or if it was better to just kill things. And then what is the best venue for killing things? Patrol? I've also heard that running strikes can getting you a fair amount of junk to dismantle as well.
