Need rear sight for S&W 686

[Volzfan]

I've got a S&W Model 686 w/4" barrel. It was stolen from my home in a burglary in Dec. 2006. I have just gotten it back from the MPD after it was recovered from an apt. in Napier homes while the Sherriff's Dept was evicting a tennant.

The gun is in great shape with the exception of the rear sight missing. Can someone tell me where would be the best place to get a replacement.

Thanks!

BTW - - - I wonder what Napier Homes Thug tactics are employed by removing the rear sight?

I have the same revolver; sent it to S&W to have the hammer "bobbed" and action tuned. They put on a new rear sight, as well.

If you send it to S&W for the sight, spend a little more and have the action tuned. It is worth every cent.

How long is the turn around when you send S&W a gun?

You are not going to believe this but the one and only time I sent a pistol to S&W, I sent it out on a Thursday, next day air of course and it arrived at my Office on Tuesday afternoon! Un believable!

Gun City On Murrf Road Nashville,you have to ask for the gunsmith. they were the

S&W Repair Center for SE for many years. It was $30 for my K Frame a little while

back.

I stopped by Guns & Leather this afternoon and they referred me to S&W directly. I called S&W and gave them the model # & serial # and they got it ordered. I found out that this gun was manufactured in 1984. I had traded for it at a gun show about 3 years ago and had no idea about it's history. I would love to know where the gun has been.

Anyone know how to track it?

Thanks for the advise.

Smith and Wesson will give you a letter telling who and when they shipped the gun to originally. It will also tell you what it was when it left the factory. I believe they charge you $35 and it will take a month or so to get it.

It's nice to hear you have the S&W back in your hands.

If that wheel gun could talk, I'm sure it would have some interesting stories.
