Mountain Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Do any forum members in NW Indiana know of a really good S&W revo gunsmith? I have a 586 in blue being used for IDPA SSR and ICORE Classic with an integral front sight that would benefit from a fiber optic. I would prefer to have the sight milled off then a slot machined for a "pinned" style sight. Second choice would be the installation of a Weigand sight adapter. So, the specific skill I'm looking for is to mill off the front sight then cut the slot for the pinned sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennRasch Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) What about milling the sight off, and use a dovetail ............... like the 627 PC ...? Edited March 19, 2012 by S&W WHEELNUT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 What about milling the sight off, and use a dovetail ............... like the 627 PC ...? Yes, I think that would suit my needs as well. The Classic or DX style sight. I just want to find someone with skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 The dovetail sights are hard to come by. You will have a lot more choices if you stick with plan A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillD Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 IMO, the best Smith guy in Indiana: http://www.sandburrgunranch.com/public/gunsmithy/default.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caspian guy Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I have used Neil Keller (http://www.kustom-ballistics.com/services.php) who I think is in central IN? He has done auto work for me, but I have handled revolvers that he has worked on and I can't believe any of his work would be less than top notch.

Mountain Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Thank you both for the two references. A gunsmith (like a physician) is someone you don't want to pick out of a phone book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
