I had an old 27-2 with the rear sight adjuster frozen up and no amount of solvent was releasing it. Smith accepted just the sight in the mail and sent it back good as new.
Sorry they didn't do same for you.

There can be a benefit from sending it back. They sometimes send it over to the gunsmith school if there is one in session at the time. The teachers there are top notch with the students. When they send it back it has been gone through and is quite smooth and clean. Looks like new when they are done.
Back in the 70's a friend of mine sent his Smith back to the factory to be refinished. He took the grips off because he figured they weren't needed. When he got his pistol back with the mirror blue finish they had installed a new set of factory target grips w/o charge. This was the 70's though so it was the old S&W company.
