If so, why turn the front sight band round??? Just scrap 'em...

There's no note about "More than one available"...Maybe a CNC test of each length that the coder forgot the sight band base???

I have bought 'scrap' from Numrich. S&W had a run of SS 659 slides that had been finished machined, but the roll-stamping was off, so S&W sheared them in half and Numrich sold the halves. I bought several and made long-slide [5" bbl] 659's out of them.
