Default 686-3 Rear Sight Assembly

I recently purchased a 686-3 6" from a friend's estate. It had a scope mounted and the rear sight assembly is MIA. Ordered one from Numrich and it was the wrong one (front screw hole of sight tang doesn't match up with the frame hole). By my caliper measurements, it is 1.925" from the square machined surface on the back of the top strap to the center of the screw hole for the sight tang's screw.

Can anybody help me with an assembly for this?

Thanks!

You'll need one with a .146" rear blade. You might try Ebay, of all places. I see them there quite often, some today in fact

Make sure you have the right to return it if the fit isn't correct. Try using the search terms "smith and wesson revolver rear sight"
