Az, Welcome to this addiction, my friend... You ARE correct in stating the rear sight "wings" are higher in height than the conventional wings are. What I was referring (I humbly beg your apologies...) is the actual rear sight body within the wings. I previously posted a PDF copy of the patent...

Folks, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!! To keep moving forward, I am about to reconnect with a custom barrel maker in North Carolina about custom 5" threaded barrels. BUT, in the event this fails, I feel a barrel sleeve will work. Anyone know of gunsmiths anywhere in the country willing to do...

Folks, Is there a kind soul in the northeast Illinois area who owns a 39-2 or 39? I would like to examine said pistol (since I have not bought one yet), so I can continue work on the slide lock for the Hush Puppy replica. This is pretty much the last thing that needs to be done... Thanks in...

Folks, I am PLEASED to report another success on the path to a Rebirth of the Mk 22 Mod 0!!! Attached below is a dual side-by-side image of how a 39-2 slide looks once the front sight has been milled away and two small holes drilled for installing pins, which will mate with the new Hush Puppy...

Folks, GREAT NEWS!!! Another member of this forum did the mod for the sear release lever on his 59. Guess what? IT WORKED!!! Please review the attached image... So while I will do this mod on my 39-2, I will again state doing this mod is up to an individual owner's discretion...but it DOES...

Folks, NOTE: What I am about to write may be heresy to some and unsafe to others, but in the interests of full and complete accuracy and authenticity, I shall post this info. KIDS!!! DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME UNLESS YOU ARE SUPERVISED BY A PARENT OR GUARDIAN!!! (Okay, legal disclaimer over...)...

Folks, Quick update: I am about to start working on the most difficult part of the Hush Puppy system, the slide lock. It is a complex piece that has parts that operate on both side of the slide, PLUS it has to be able to hold the slide back...

Folks, Thanks to the resourcefulness of kwill, I am presenting for your indulgence the patent drawings and documentation for the Mk 3 Mod 0 suppressor, the "can" used on the Mk 22 Mod 0... I have already designed a faux can. I just have to reconfigure the front end to allow a lens cap to snap...

Folks, Based on a suggestion by kwill, I found the patent drawing from Dwayne Charron for the civilian version of the Hush Puppy's rear sight. It is interesting to note how S&W was able to take a few pieces of the Mk 22 Mod 0 program and bring them into product lines for themselves...

grif, That is GREAT news!!! Thank you for trying my theory out... Next question for you: is the Mki 22 Mod 0's finish blued or a black parkerizing?

grif, *Tries this with a slide, barrel and bushing* Point validated. I think the internal length of the bushing is what the issue is... If the bushing was shortened from BOTH ends to just be a "nub" in the muzzle end of the slide to support the barrel, that should allow the extended barrel...

grif, You are indeed correct for the recoil spring guide and spring that the slide itself will restrain/contain it all, so here's an idea to have the needed bushing without pressing one in place: Merely take a spare bushing, mill off the external portion of the bushing, insert said newly-milled...

grif, In the image above, I am in aggreement the bushing is NOT there, hence there had to be something to both support the barrel at the muzzle and to restrain the recoil spring guide... And I think I found out what it is by looking at an image of an airsoft copy. Look at the attached image...

Folks, Again, based on input by kwill, I contacted S&W via email and they said one can order parts by calling 800-331-0852 ext.4125 directly. kwill stated the Third Generation rear sight for the 5906 is precisely the same sight and visual verification confirms that... Additionally, please look...

Folks, I started talking with kwill, who is a WEALTH of knowledge. He brought up the point of the various plugs used with the Mk 22. I then thought about an A Zoom aluminum or a black plastic snap cap, which would then have to have a small, shallow slot milled into it to let a rubber O-ring sit...

Folks, My attention has now turned to the rear sight itself. While some online gun parts site may have these sights, I am not too throilled at our possibilities... Any ideas? TIA...

Kevin, ANY and all help is appreciated. I emailed you...

Folks, More GREAT news!!! Attached below are two images of the very first three prototype rear sight "wings" prior to bending!!! Once they get bent and sent to me, I will MOST DEFINITELY post further pics... I just got up and this already made my day start off right...

I managed to buy nearly a complete 39-2 (sans frame) pistol off an online site. Since it is a true 39-2 slide, I will need to have the lollipop cutout welded over and a dovetail cut...

civil, et al., I think there may be errors in S&W's books. The Hush Puppy was an 8 shot pistol. Any later changes which resulted in the 59 came a great deal later... Kevin Dockery's books have errors too, such the thread pitch for the barrel for the can In his first book, Dockery claims...
