Default Friday Afternoon Project = 629-5 Makeover

Picked up a 4" 629-5 a few days ago. Bone stock but in overall clean condition. Decided to go through my parts pin and do some tinkering. Here's a before shot.

Next up a few after shots.

I swapped the front sight for a .300 SDM gold bead. Changed out to some walnut stocks, added an extended cylinder release. Finished it off with a quick hand polish and topped it with some Renaissance wax. Im going to change out the rear sight blade for a blacked out target style then hopefully get it out to the range.

Just wanted to share a few pics! Happy upcoming weekend to all!

Thanks! I definitely recommend the SDM fabrication ones. I bought both a .250 and a .300 gonna use the .250 on my 6" 629.
