625JM Rear Sight out of windage UPDATE

mike56 · Apr 4, 2025

Shot my new to me JM625 today. Found that the rear sight windage is maxed out to the left.
My groups (excellent by the way) are still about 1-2 inches to the right of my POA.

Anything I can do?

I bought a rear sight assembly from Brownells to fix my J.M.

Reclock the barrel to get the front sight vertical.

The barrel did look a little canted to me but I wasn't sure.

So replacing the whole sight assembly fixed the problem?

Call S&W they might fix it for you. All they can say is pay us.

I don't believe my rear sight is broken. The blade is moving, just not enough. I don't understand how simply replacing the sight will change it?

The sight is as far as it can go. Another one will just be the same.

My thought as well.

What is involved in centering the barrel/front sight?
No longer made so no barrels for it from Smith?

You don't need another barrel. Just turn the one that's there a small amount. It's a 10 minute tweak for a good revo smith.

UPDATE
I did contact Smith. Guy was very nice. Understood it was a used firearm. Explained that I thought the barrel was slightly canted. Said that centering the barrel had the risk of frame cracking. Not a problem, as they still have stainless N frames, just no 625 barrels. Sent me a pick up tag.

Interesting that it went to Springfield. Maybe some old timers that didn't want to move?

Anyway, it is on the way back. Says Monday. Fingers crossed!
