Great looking stocks on that 686 jjbrewst1. The only revolver I had with the unfluted cylinder was a Ruger Single Six with .22 mag cylinder. I liked it and the .22 mag. I couldn't really decide whether I liked the unfluted cylinder or not but definitely like six shots and fluted cylinders. These days a case can easily be made for unfluted cylinders and many of your pictures leave me seriously desirous!!!
