Default 686 Classic Hunter "Target"

This 686 I have for 10 years or so.
I like is a lot, the only miner to a 686, I find a 6" quite heavy at the front.
Recently I placed some 'target' parts.
I wanted to show it now, it's clean and there was a brake in the rain this morning.



I wanted a SS (or flash chromed ?) Hammer but no luck finding one. I bought a .500 wide target on Brownells.
Costed a lot! $58 for the hammer, $28 for air mail (witch took three weeks) and $30 for customs here in Holland)
Thursday I received it an put it in together with a .400 serated trigger I bought in a local shop.
($15 together with a K-frame target hammer, that was a break.

Also recently mounted a new .410 target Millett rear sight. ($15 in the local shop!)
The front sight was on it a while. Last but not least I placed the the old but as new Diamond targets today.
Now I dare to ask "Nice gun not?"
Am I missing any 'target' part?

Jeroen

Thanks!

Revolver_King, I used "Carb and intake cleaner" and a soft brass brush.
That cleaner comes in a spray can and works.

I certainly am a proud papa. Was painting today and my 6-year old girl insisted to take over. And she did not do a bad job! (Luckily is an undercoat)
