4" 681 Performance Center
Did the PC ever produce a 4" 681?

Yes - see below highlighted and underlined portion of Model 681-5.
The two below 681 models are Performance Center models:
Model 681-4 Lew Horton Special, 3" ported barrel, 7-shot, chamfered cylinder. About 300 produced. Serial prefix LHB.
Model 681-5 Special for Camfour, 7-shot, chamfered cylinder, (drift) adjustable front sight, ported barrel, matte (glass bead) finish, product code 170172 for the 4" barrel and product code 170178 for the 3". Circa 2001.

Reason: Had previously stated adjustable rear sight which was incorrect.

Thank for the help. All my searches came up with the 3" version.

Stupid question, if the 681-5 has an adjustable rear sight why wouldn't it just be numbered as a 686?

Re: Model 681-5 with drift adjustable front sight and a fixed rear sight.
Thanks for the correction. I corrected my previous post so as not to leave incorrect information for potential future viewers.
