As far as selling, make a deal, receive funds and ship to the buyer’s FFL dealer with a copy of your driver’s license or have a local FFL dealer ship if you prefer.

Good to get another second opinion.
I was told on another thread within this forum that:
6175 = S&W ship/build date = June 24th 1986
The "6" stands for 1986 and the 175 is the 175th day = June 24th 1986.
I'm going to let the future new buyer do the free "M" modification.
Thus the new buyer can see that nothing has been done to
clean or modify or change or hide any history about the gun.
OK. I need to do research. RGNewell's above first post
declared my 357-686 8-3/8" gun is a Target version.
I have studied many videos including Big Swoll58's many
YouTube posts on Smith Wesson revolvers including some that focus
on the 1980s 686. He show 686's with three different factory ordered triggers ~
thin with no checker/serration, thin with serration and wide with checker/serration
~ three different factory grips and three different factory hammers.
I am no expert and do not know if BigSwoll58 is not being accurate,
but his S&W collections are massive and his study of the variations
is quite extensive. I do not know if the variations apply to or do not apply to
the 686's with 8-3/8" barrels. If you know more, PLMK.
Ken158 ~ thanks to you I will continue to inquire and research.
Do not want to misrepresent a gun for sale. Cheers
