686-3 Question

[Kaumheimer]

Fellow Smith aficionados, I would like your advice. I’m thinking of purchasing this 686-3 5” (fluted) barrel with full lug and six shot capacity. Problem is I can’t seem to find this model variation listed in Supica or anywhere online. Anybody familiar with this beast? I thought the 686-3 5” was unfluted. I realize there are newer 686s 7 shot models that are fluted but this definitely is a six shooter. mahalo

That looks like a six inch barrel to me

Yes that is a six inch barrel.

I thought this may be the case...thanks guys.

You measure from the cylinder face to the end of the barrel for how long it is.
