Thanks Mark. I have never used an X in my life. I have nothing to hide and I own 109 pistols, rifles, and a live Thompson. If legal, all guns should be registered depending where you live and the Gun Police already have a record of the serial numbers. It's not quite the same as giving out your SS number or CCard number.
Diamondback, I kind of thought my M686 was an early one. I bought it so long ago, I paid $395 for it with shipping. It is a 6" and shoots very well. Thanks, Big Larry
