Dumb question about a 686

IndyIN · #1 07-17-2012, 08:57 PM

I have a 686 6" that has the lock, which would make it a -6. Do the 686-6 models not have it stamped on the gun? Mine has the serial number on the frame (and butt) but nothing below it (i.e. 686-6). Is this common?

My 686 has the 686-6 stamped on it. Maybe someone forgot to stamp it.

I suspect that has to be the case. I never thought much of it, figured that the lock was the dead give away.

You did look at crane inside for the model? That's where mine is.

inside the crane - swing the cylinder out and it's in there

Unless I'm really missing something, the picture I posted shows what you are describing and there is no model number. I'm just chalking it up to being missed at the factory.
