probably everyone in the world knew this but me. just called smith and wesson wanting to send my highway patrolman in for reblueing and front sight replacement (pitting). was told they dont work on anything prior to 1958 and mine was slightly older. that sucks i had been saving money and was looking forward to having this redone. Bleah!!!

Colt sold off their parts inventory about 30 years ago; now they only have parts for guns currently in production, & won't work on guns for which they have no parts.

S&W no longer uses the same bluing and they're not a parts warehouse.
Its worth asking but I wouldn't be upset if any manufacturer didn't stock parts that old.
You'd think re-bluing and a sight R&R can be done by anyone that's been doing that for a while. I suppose you can have Turnbull trick it out [:p].
