S&W Revolver guys......question on 686-1 parts replacement

A buddy has a S&W 686-1, 2.5" barrel, wood combat grips....Excellent condition. He had a gunsmith rework it to double action only and bobbed the hammer. Smooth as silk trigger.....Now 20 years later he wants to return it to it's original condition.
They are several generations beyond from when this model was produced....will he need to find specific internal replacement parts from a 686-1 ??
Before we take it apart, just looking for a place to start.....Thanks in advance for any assistance...

Maybe move this to A T E forum.
I posted there later in the day.....
I know the 686-2 they changed the firing pin bushing and around the -5 they started using mim parts. The no dash and 686-1 also had a recall for cylinder binding
the cylinder binding was caused by the hole in the firing pin bushing being to large , upon firing the primer flowed back into the hole forming a nice little crater on the outside of the primer, locking everything up tight
Thank you all for the assistance...will go on a search for the right parts now that I know where to start...
