Did I screw up - AGAIN?

We all have likes and dislikes. My 8 3/8" Smiths are only less liked than my Ruger 9 1/2" and my Contender 15 incher.

I can't imagine that a rear sight would cost THAT much.

If I didn't already have one I'd ask for a reference to the seller....
 
If you want it buy it. Make yourself happy. You only have to answer to yourself in the long run. If the wife is involved then talk with her. But overall only you know what you want to do. Lots of times I pick stuff up and think"I want that", then in five minutes I'll think "Just what am I going to do with that?". Others here can't figure out what they want let alone what you want or need. Again buy or pass, but make yourself happy.
 
I paid $850 for this old wore out 27-2..:rolleyes:

I think the biggest issue is whether or not there are extra holes in the top strap that were drilled for the scope base. If not, and if there's nothing yucky going on to the top strap under that scope base, then you're probably ok.

Given that it didn't sell at the gun show, it seems like the guy will be open to making a deal. If you want to get it for $700, perhaps starting at $650 "because I have to hunt down a decades old rear sight" might work.

Yeah, that's one of my concerns too. On the other hand, even if there's an extra screw hole or two, the sight would cover it up, and it would only be visible with the cylinder open.

rear sight is easy to find;a little looking around might even get you a used one at a real good price.
And those long Tom are really fun to shoot.
 
I would not have even given it a look. Only have two N frames in my accumulation and no long toms. K-frames are the perfect size for me and 6inch barrel is the longest I will own. All depends on what YOU want.
 
I have a 29-4 classic hunter I bought with a scope. It has extra screw holes drilled and they are threadlocked into place. Not to scare you or anything but that base might not come right off.

Needless to say mine will be wearing a scope the whole time I own it

Love me some N-frames, I have 6, already, so this one would make Lucky # 7 ;)
