S&W K,L,N frame scope mounts
« on: January 31, 2011, 03:20:02 PM »
Years ago I bought a Leopold double dovetail mount for one of my Smiths. Thinking about putting it on a 617 for ground squirrels. Does any one know what size screws I need to mount it on this pistol? thanks, Ralph

No, but the one I have mounts in the rear sight screw holes and then has a clamp that goes around the front of the frame & barrell. I've never mounted it though. So I would say take off your rear sight and match the screws to the mount holes for it.   ;)

IMO i would not use the leupold rigs & mount !
  I use Weigand , EGW & B square  bases on my S & W for red dots or scopes with aluminum rings for all calibers  up to 44 mag with no problems over many years of use

I would just call Leopold customer service, and tell them you bought the mount new, but lost the screws.  They will probably send you new screws for free.

I have a 657-3. It shoots like a laser. I can't see them iron sites. I bought a B-Square from Ebay. It didn't quit fit right. Slides in the rear and one screw in the front and the clamp in the rear and the barrel clamps. Using a Millet red dot, fired three rounds, flew over my shoulder. Stripped the screws and scratched the barrel. Mad. Took her home and fitted it to the frame, drilled the three holes in the mount, standard on most Smiths and re-attached. Worked fine after that. Ugly, way high, and black on a SS gun. 6" at 100y with the red dot. I now use a Weigland mount, silver. Nice. They are machined to fit all the contours and not that expensive. I trashed the B-Square. It might work on a 22lr or even a 38 special, but didn't on that 41 mag. If I could afford to do it over, I would use a steel mount and rings made for the Smith. I have a 2X scope and use max loads now. Still shoots like a laser. PS the screws are 6X48, buy um any ware. If there too long and they stick through the top strap, Take um out and grind them off till there even. I never use locktite and have never had an issue.
