I need some advice on the removal and installation of the rear sight leaf body on my model 60-10 (adustable sight 3-incher). To make a long story short, I have had trouble getting the correct parts from S&W (and from Brownells, for that matter) to change out the slider blade in this gun. Today, I received not the new slider blade that I had requested, but instead a whole new leaf body that included the new slider blade.
Rather than send back the new leaf body, it looks pretty simple to remove the old leaf body and install the new one. It looks like all I have to do is just remove (and reuse) that one screw that sits towards the front of the leaf body. (This looks a whole lot easier that changing out slider blades in my existing leaf body.)
But before I mess with this, I thought I would consult the forum's assembled wisdom. Is there anything that I ought to know/be wary of/do before I just remove that screw in my existing leaf body?
I have already consulted my copy of Mr. Kuhnhausen't book and he doesn't address this problem. Thanks much for your help.
