I have a friend with a S&W M14 that looks almost identical.

Thanks bigggbbruce. I don't know where the date code is. Bryan

armorer951 Thanks for the update. My M15-6 has the original smaller grips. Are the smaller original grips available to purchase? May be an export issue to Canada. Bryan

I also bought a S&W 15-6 recently in 38 special 6" barrel. Serial # BJB7231 purchased in Canada. I am the 3rd owner. Was BNIB to second owner. I also have the original box. I think it is early 1990's but would appreciate any info you can provide. Pics attached.

Bought a K22 Masterpiece 17-2. I'm the 3rd owner. Info suggested 1957 vintage, but not sure. Serial # K728513, bought in Canada. 6" barrel. Do you think the large wooden grips are original? Pics attached. I did get the original box too. Thanks, Bryan

Nice collection of Smiths AveragEd!

Thanks, that's very likely. Most manufacturers make guns to be exported to Canada on a special run. There are no guns sold here with barrels shorter than 4.1" or mags more than 10 rounds. Other guns with shorter barrels are classified as prohibited and can't be generally acquired, all others...

Thanks Crittenden for the info. It is in very good shape so it was not shot a lot. The guy I bought it from hadn't used it for over 20 years after he got it from a club member.

Very nice! Mine has brown wooden grips.

Hi, I just got a used S&W 686-3 SN BEJ6977. Under the yoke. It has a 6" barrel, stainless, with wooden grips. Previous owner bought it in the late 90's also used. Any info on manufacture or ship date appreciated. Likely bought in Canada originally. Thanks, Bryan
