I bought a used S&W 686-5 with 2.5 inch barrel. The rear sight is rusting and generally beat up. I want to replace the whole rear assembly.
I see that Millet offers a white outline combat rear sight assembly.
Does anyone know a good source to buy it on-line?
Also, how do I know if I want a blade height of .312 or .360?
If not Millet -- do you suggest another manufacturer? Or just use a S&W replacement part?
Finally -- is this something I can do myself -- i.e., replacing the rear sight assembly -- or are there tricky little springs to bounce all over creation...?
Thanks!
