I managed to lose my rear sight elevation stud (part number 7180) from my 4-inch model 19-4.

I am looking for a blued replacement but the ones at Midway and Brownell's look to be "stainless" in color. Can I get blued ones from the factory or somewhere else?

Anyone here have some they could sell?

Thanks.

Jack

Try Jack First in Rapid City SD.

From my observation over quite a few years all elevation studs are simply hardened and left as-is. They are all carbon steel but neither blued nor nickeled. Same situation as the mainspring.

Thanks for the helpful comments and likely sources. I ordered a couple from Midway and will see how it works out.
