S&W rear sight wanted

[cowboy45]

Thought I'd ask here first. I need a rear sight for an L-framed Smith. PM me if you can help.

Thanks

I have always heard that S&W has a lifetime repair policy. A buddy of mine sent a used one in w/aftermarket sights(semi-auto) complaining about accuracy. They sent it back to him w/new adjustable factory sight and barrel FOC. Don't know if that's true now a days???

S&W will repair one of their pistols if it is under warranty for free, but if you're not the original owner, no. The cost to send in a pistol for just that one repair would be expensive because of the shipping costs there and back. Brownells has S&W parts in stock. I just looked up the cost for replacing the rear sight blade on a Model 14 and it only ran around $12. You can also check with Gil Hebard Guns and see if he has any S&W parts still in stock.

I should add that they did fix a safety issue for me for free. I had sent in a Model 25 to be reblued and mentioned that the cylinder catch seemed worn out. They replaced it and the associated parts for free, but that was over ten years ago.

Not broken, totally missing. I need the whole sight, it is a project gun. Someone put it up wet in a case for a while.

Should have explained that I was just giving an example of some of the stuff Brownells has in stock. What you need is probably this:

for a 686 and similar revolvers.
