Default Adjustable rear sight blades?????

Can I get different heights of rear sight blades from Smith? I have a 5 inch 686 that I am working on and with an old sight the gun hits 8 inches low at 25 yards with the rear sight cranked up pretty high.I do not want to change the height of the front sight.

There are several heights from which to choose but I can tell you that the .146 sight is backordered until MARCH!!!!!

Try the .160 sight blade - this should clear up the problem.

I've always gotten my rear sight blades and other rear sight parts from Gil Hebard Guns, in Knoxville, IL. They do not have a website, but their phone number is 209-289-2700. Great folks.
