I'm considering scoping my S&W 629, but I'm clueless as to how.

[QUOTE="redleg10, post: 4233088, member: 5554"] This is from a thread from the Smith & Wesson forum...... All classic models starting with the 629-3 and 29-5 were drilled and tapped. Standard partial shroud models were not until the 629-4/29-6. The exception is the Classic Hunter (full lug,square butt,non fluted cylinder) models which were not. Also of note is that the first generation rounded front rear sight that came on the 629-3 and 29-5 Classic models is unique and was changed to a shorter length rounded front rear sight on the 629-4 and 29-6 versions (still in use ). It is very hard to find these first generation round front rear sights as they were only produced for a short time. The factory drilling and tapping for scope mounting was one of the new features introduced with the Classic series in 1990. I have a mount for sale in the classifieds if its drilled and taped here is a link and picture of one in the lower right corner [URL]https://cdn.imagearchive.com/okshooters/data/attach/379/379367-parts-1.JPG[/URL] Hope this helped.
