New to me 586 no dash nickel finish

[bigchuck83]

just spent a little time at a local pawn shop trying to decide between a model 64-3 or a nickel 586. Chose to buy the 586. ABF serial number prefix and from what i can tell by the SCSW 3rd edition it is a late 1982 or early 1983 gun. The finish is in decent shape, Action feels good, no mechanical issues i can find. It does not have the M stamp so i'll eventually find out if its good to go as is or not. no box and had some ugly Hogue grips that i immediately replaced with a set Of Grashorn grips. I know how much all of you love pictures so here it is.

Nice addition. It must be nice to actually have revolver choices in a gun store nowadays. Enjoy.

Those grips look fantastic. I'd add a nickel Tyler grip adapter. Then you'd be set. Naked Magna's don't really work for me. But with Tyler's they're perfect.

OH YES! That looks COOL to me! I have a no dash 4" blue from 1983. Won't send it back unless I have to. Enjoy your 586! Bob

I think you made a most excellent choice.

Very nice 586,
I see more SS 686's and blue 586's than nickel .

Shiney nickel gets my vote....in fact I may focus on nickel models and actuality become a collector instead of an accumulator

I have a 4" Nickel 586. Can someone tell me what year it is? AUN serial number.

Very nice. I have a blue no dash 586, they are great guns. I'm sure you will enjoy it. That nickel is really nice.

Very nice gun...I've been collecting no dash L frames for a long time now, and have 9 or 10 of them. The only ones I would like to add to my safe are an early 6 inch 586 with a Patridge front sight, and your 4 inch nickel version. I wouldn't send it back, I've never had any problems.

Congratulations on the purchase as that is a beauty and I love nickel S&W revolvers

 

[Bill In Texas]

Congratulations!

The aun is not the serial number.
You will find it under the grips on the butt.

I have a 4" Nickel 586......AUN[xxxx] serial number.

June - August 1986​

If you have the box for that bad boy, post the Product Code and Spec. Ord. number. I know it's a long shot, but I've gotta ask. Don't see an in-the-box 4-inch nickel no-dashes everyday. The -1's were shipping by mid August, so you got one of the last no-dashes.

 

[kendall3286]

Thanks. I do not have the box for it. I got this from a friend in the late 90's.
