Smith & Wesson PD Series J, L, N Frame Side Plate Screw Black | Factory New OEM Part 293770000
Smith & Wesson PD Series J, L, N Frame Side Plate Screw (Black) — Factory New OEM Part #293770000
This listing is for one (1) factory new Smith & Wesson OEM side plate screw in black oxide finish, Part #293770000, for PD series J, L, and N Frame revolvers.
The side plate screw secures the side plate (the left-side frame cover enclosing the action) to the revolver frame. Smith & Wesson PD series revolvers use a black oxide finish screw specifically matched to the anodized aluminum and scandium alloy frames used in the AirLite PD lineup — not interchangeable with standard blued or stainless side plate screws from non-PD models. A stripped, damaged, or missing side plate screw will prevent proper side plate seating and can affect action function. This is a genuine Smith & Wesson factory part manufactured to original specifications.
