I just bought a Model 41 1978/1979 A573xxx. It had a Tasco ProPoint mounted but the rear sight had been removed and the seller didn't have it.
Here's my problem: The dove tail on this gun is smaller than the current Model 41 dove tail, so a readily available sight for a 41 will not fit this older model gun.
I called S&W and the fellow said "Yup. It won't fit." When I asked if he had the smaller ones he said "Sorry, no."
I called Guns and Gun Parts but he's out for the weekend.
When I search for rear sights for the 41 they are all the newer size dove tail. The older one is .3875 inch across the opening. The new one is .50 inch.
Any ideas?
