I Just bought this last week and hate to sell it but another gun I want more has come up for sale. It is a 686 no dash 6" in excellent condition. No box or papers. FTF only in or near Concord/Charlotte NC. I need $600 firm thanks. No trades unless it is for a S&W .500...

I'm sure someone on here will chime in with the correct answer but until then I have one with sn# AEJxxxx and it was made in 1984.

I went looking everywhere today and found me a 686. It is a no dash with wood grips. It was probably as close to like new as I will find. http://s640.photobucket.com/albums/uu122/Palmer812/?action=view&current=DSCI0146-1.jpg Btw is there a link that will tell me what all of the numbers on it mean?

That would be great. Thanks for the help. Robert ps. my brother in law has a 6" 686-4 he bought new for $350. Where is a time machine when you need one? lol

Beautiful gun. I am looking for one just like it in NC. Where did you find it? thanks

I am looking for a 586 or 686 4" or 6" in like new condition. I am looking for a FTF in NC. thanks Robert
