S&W K Frame Model K38 Pre-Model 15 Elevation Stud & Screw Square Front .38 Special – Part# 15162

Smith & Wesson K Frame Model K38 Pre-Model 15 Elevation Stud & Screw – Square Front, Old Style

Restore precise elevation adjustment on your K38 or Pre-Model 15 with this factory-original elevation stud and screw set. The elevation stud is the post on which the rear sight blade pivots for vertical adjustment — a worn, stripped, or missing stud and screw causes the rear sight to lose its elevation setting or become impossible to adjust. This old-style square front matched set features the correct 5-screw era design for the K Frame Model K38 (Pre-Model 15) chambered in .38 Special.

About the K38 / Pre-Model 15

The K38 Masterpiece (later designated the Model 15 Combat Masterpiece) is one of the most celebrated K Frame revolvers ever produced. Pre-model revolvers predate the 1957–58 model number system; if your revolver has no model number stamped behind the yoke, contact us with the serial number and we'll confirm compatibility.
