686 Frame Bevel
I have two 686-6's and on one, the frame under the barrel that the yoke comes up against has the edge slightly beveled. I was wondering if anybody else had a slighty beveled frame in that spot. The picture is not of my gun but it shows the area I am talking about in red. I know these guns are all hand finished but it would make me feel better to know somebody else has the same thing going on. And Yes, I know I am a little OCD.

I'm not real sure what the purpose of the bevel is, but it seems to be on the newer guns and not the older.

I have a late 1993 serial numbered 686-4 that has a bevel there; it's actually right at the point following the dash in the model number stamp (i.e. '686-<bevel>'). Over this beveled portion is the '4' stamp; I've always assumed that this was a re-stamped -3 to -4 transition gun from the sn date and that it has factory wood target grips.

Well... There you have it. We now know, within three months, when the factory changed to the bevel.
