Default Where to purchase sight adjustment screw

I need a new rear sight adjustment screw for a mid-70's 6.5 inch Model 29-2. This is the screw that is the rear most top screw that adjusts elevation. Gun is in terrific shape but that screw looks like it was once turned with a knife.

I looked at Numrich and Brownell's and I'm not sure of the part number I am looking for or if they even sell a replacment.

And while we're at it I also need a side plate screw for a blue 70's era k frame. This is the one that holds the cylinder assembly in place.

Help is very much appreciated.

Thanks for the replies fellas. I found the parts listing at, suprise suprise...the S&W website. I should have spent more time searching online instead of asking...being a little lazy today I think.

Anyway, gonna place my order and get back to work.


Is the forward most sideplate screw (that holds the cylinder assembly in place) called the end shake screw? Maybe the yoke screw? I'm confused again after looking at midway's descriptions. thanks!
