This video demonstrates a gunsmithing modification to a Smith & Wesson Model 15 revolver. Larry Potterfield, founder of MidwayUSA, details the process of converting a factory black ramp front sight to accept a red insert. The steps include filing a dovetail, scoring the base for grip, creating a red insert using casting resin and pigments, and fencing the insert with brass shims. The resin is poured, cured, shaped, and finished with cold blue for a professional look. This guide is useful for Smith & Wesson revolver owners looking to customize their firearm's sights for improved visibility.
