Revolver work near KoP?

**PaTom** · February 9th, 2013, 05:07 PM

I would like to get new sights installed on a S&W 617. The stock sight is not great and I was thinking maybe fiber optics or at least something that is not plain black.

Does anyone know of a good gunsmith in the area who does that kind of work?

I can't recommend a 'smith because I did the work myself, but I will recommend using a Protocall Design .100 wide orange FO front sight and a taller .146 factory rear blade. The extra side light and deeper notch really help my tired old eyes...

There is a good GunSmith in Spring City. when I can find his contact info I will re post it. But that isn't far from King of Prussia.

John Robinson has done a lot of work to a few revolvers I have, he's now in horsham at Clayton's... He's the only guy I'd trust to work on my wheel guns!

He's done work for me before. I didn't realize that's where he had gone to.

Plus I get to check out a new shop. Sounds like a win all around.

Thanks everyone!
