This is an ideal find for gunsmiths, collectors, and vintage revolver restorers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe front sight pin is the small cross-pin that retains the front sight blade in the sight ramp base on the barrel. Classic-era S\u0026amp;W revolvers (pre-1982) used a pinned front sight construction where the sight blade was secured with a transverse pin through the ramp. The pin must match the exact diameter (.068\") and length (.635\") for a proper press fit; generic pins will not work. Blue steel finish matches the original production specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smith \u0026amp; Wesson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 03163B000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e .635\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e .068\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classic \/ Pre-1982 Pinned Front Sight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStatus:\u003c\/strong\u003e ⚠ S\u0026amp;W Obsolete Part — Limited Availability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front Sight Pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eModel Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFrame\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRepresentative Models (Pinned Sight Era)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatible\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eK Frame (pre-1982)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 48, 64, 65, 66, 67 (pre-1982 pinned sight variants)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e✓ Yes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eN Frame (pre-1982)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 57 (pre-1982 pinned sight variants)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e✓ Yes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL Frame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e581, 586, 681, 686 (introduced 1980 — verify sight pin style)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e✗ Verify — near changeover period\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJ Frame (pre-1982)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34, 36, 60, 63 (pre-1982 pinned sight variants)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e✗ Verify — J Frame pin dimensions may differ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePost-1982 \/ MIM era models\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll modern production\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e✗ No — post-1982 models use press-fit or integral sights\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Part #03163B000 (.635\" × .068\", blue steel) is confirmed for classic-era K and N Frame revolvers with pinned front sights, produced prior to the 1982 sight construction changeover.
