Re: S&W rear sight assembly

Hi all,

So I removed the complete rear sight assembly on my R8 revolver with the intention on mounting a rail for a scope...now I'm trying to reattach the sight assembly and running into an issue getting the holes to line up...Does anyone know if there is a step by step video on how to do this?...Thanks

wow...it looks like the rear sight is the same as the newer K,L,and N revolvers....if that be the case, loosen the rear screw with the flat nut until the sight assembly slides into the frame easily, now it is easier to manuver the front to line up the front screw and tighten it down all the way....then adjust your elevation back to where it was...hopefully you counted the turns from tight before you removed the sight assembly
