Model 28-2 buggered sideplate screws.
I need to replace two buggered sideplate screws on a 1967 Model 28-2. Are these correct?
Smith & Wesson Sideplate Screw S&W K L N-Frame Round Head Blue
Thanks! - Tom

There is two dome headed screws, one can be used for the yoke and a flat head that fits under the grip. You can buy a set of K/L/N side plate screws $20 The Gun Garage listed on ebay. They will be correct bought some for 19-2

I replaced a flat under the grip screw on 629 from gun garage. If you replace the yoke screw, it may require a little fitting. Keep track of the original yoke screw as a reference

My concern would be the finish. IIRC, Model 28 screws have a matte finish like the rest of the revolver.

I am sure that you can dull the gloss with mild TSP wash or a swipe of super fine sandpaper.

A yoke screw is different from the other round head screw. The yoke screw is smooth on the end where it rides inside the yoke button.

I have used those crowned screws purchased from Midway (as pictured) in the middle hole, both SS and blue. They have worked fine and match well. As mentioned in earlier posts the yoke screw from that era has an extended nose with no threads, which will work ok in the front (yoke) and middle holes as well. The screw pictured in your link works fine in the middle hole. A flat head screw is needed for the hole beneath the grips.

Success!
Ordered four screws (and CLP, and Kroil, and Sweets) from Midway. Installed two new screws on the old iron, perfect fit, no binding or slop. I am pleased as can be with my new to me S-prefix 28-2. Here she be, sportin' new screws and a set of period correct-ish black washer target stocks. Not too shabby for a 54 year old shooter. Thanks for the advice and recommendations everyone!

Uh-oh. A friend pointed out that my 28-2 has significant yoke end shake; the cylinder can hit the barrel if not pushed back toward the recoil shield while closing. I ordered the correct screw today.
