    Advice on fixing 686 SSR finish damage

    I just picked up the 686 SSR that I bought on Gunbroker. The gun looks great except for a couple nicks on the front sight mount. It looks like someone hit it with a punch while installing the hi-viz sight. The gun has the "frosted" stainless steel finish (not polished). Does anyone have advice...

    New 4506-1 Owner *AND* I got to see a thief get tazed!

    Very cool about the 4506-1 and seeing the scumbag getting tazed. That is a beautiful gun, congrats Several years back I bought a 3906 with adjustable sights at a gun show. It has adjustable sights like yours. It was made in 1990 (square trigger guard), like new condition.

    Looking for advice on installing HiViz front site on 617-3

    I want to install a HiViz front site on my 617-1. The revolver has a pinned front sight but the HiViz is not pre-drilled. I appreciate if someone can help me do this correctly: How do I remove the pin? What # drill bit do I use for the new sight? How do I drill the new sight ? Thanks,

    Question on cleaning & lubricating 617 action

    I have the sideplate of my 617 off to install new springs. Should I clean the internals (spray out with Gun Scrubber or something similar) ? Also, should I lubricate it with a light oil like CLP ? Or just leave it alone ? Thanks
