Gas block height I checked my M&P 10 & the gas block is lower than the receiver rail. I checked it with a precision Starrett straight edge. It's not much but I would say 1/16" or more.

Thanks for the input on modifying the Goncalo Alves grips as it would be easy to do what you suggested & I love some of the Goncalo Alves grips. With todays glues, I don't believe gluing some pieces in the square butt grips would be that hard & they would stand up to the recoil. I have a lot of...

S&W 500 grips I bought the S&W 500 Hogue grips & they fit my hand very well. I like the extra cushion that covers the backstrap on my 69 & the palm swell is more than the S&W Hogue grips for the 69 I bought previously. A BIGG improvement over the stock hard rubber grips! Hope it helps someone...

Thanks for the recommendations! I will order the grip for the Model 500 as I didn't know it would fit. Wish I would have known before as I wouldn't have ordered the other S&W Hogue grips! Oh well hindsight is always 20/20. Thanks again to both of you for your input!

I searched for a Model 69 post & couldn't find one so I thought I would post. I have a Model 69 & have bought the S&W Hogue grips for it from S&W & they are nicer than originals (Softer rubber) but wondering if anyone has found any bigger palm swell grips for that model as the replacements I...

Thanks for all your replies. That's what I believed too that mine is an earlier design. I don't believe it was bad QC as the groove machined in the sight leaf lined up good with the old windage screw head spring detent hole plus the depth of the hole was quite a bit more deep (Almost twice as...

Rear blade install for Model 18-3 problem Well I found the problem. Apparently I was sent the wrong rear sight blade kit as the pictures will show the windage screw is different from my original one. The detent hole in my original is closer to the center of the sight blade & its hole is deeper...

I received my S&W kit for my Model 18-3 rear sight blade replacement & having assembly problems. I screw the windage screw into the blade (tried halfway, all the way, etc.) & put spring & plunger into windage screw head & push into Leaf (sight body) & compress plunger/spring with small...

Looking to buy parts for a Model 18-3 rear sight assembly. At the very least I need the rear sight blade & preferably a white outlined one but would consider a black one. If you have the windage screw & nut that would be good too. That would be all I need but if I have to buy the whole rear...

Looking to buy a S&W 22 revolver. Not looking for a collectable grade gun just a good shooter to use. Finish not a priority just good mechanical operation. 4" or 6" barrel. Please PM what you have. Would prefer FTF in Michigan. Thanks for looking.
