Gunar Thank you for the link. I will try some yellow from Hobby Lobby. The ramps are already cut so I just need to change the color of the sight in them. Thanks to all who have responed.

Hello Can any of you recommend someone who can install yellow or red ramp front sight inserts? I would like the colors to match the factory installed ramps on revolvers produced in the 1960's through 1970's. Thank you.

I recieved the gun and the front sight looks good. The pin is polished smooth with the frame and the red ramp size and color looks consistent with my M29's and M57's. The only difference I can tell is the ramp blade up to where the red ramp begins is smooth while the ramps on my M29's and M57's...

Thank you for your answers, The box does not come with the gun. When it arrives I will look it over and try and post pictures. I've sent several revolvers back to S & W, all shooters, to have the RR/WO installed. For me this is the best sight combination. Please keep the comments coming! And...

Hello Everyone I am thinking about purchasing a model 53 Jet to shoot. Before I make the purchase, I would like to find a 22 LR Cylinder. Can anyone tell me a source for a cylinder? Thanks Steve

Thanks for posting those pictures. That does look like the front "post" I remember seeing. Does anyone know whether those are factory or not? I think the factory used to also install a gold bead on request on 60's and 70's revolvers but have seen very few. Steve

Hello everyone, I am interested if you have any pictures of revolvers with the factory red post front sights. I have seen these on a few 6 inch revolvers. Was this a special order item? I have a model 14-3 that I am sending back to S&W for a TH and TT and would also like to get something to...

I live in Middle Tennesse. What grips do you have left and how much for them? Steve in Columbia
