So, maybe you guys can fill me in on my latest 6 inch 686-3 with an unfluted cylinder and a pinned front sight. This is the first one I have seen with this combination an unfluted cylinder and a pinned front sight. The Serial number is BBV77xx It is the gun on top in this photo. I also posted a question in another post about the strange hand in this gun.
The back story:
This gun is replacing my first 6 inch 686-3 it had a fluted cylinder I really like the old one but, it had a solid red ramp front sight that could not be replaced. I still reluctantly sold it after a guy asked me to sell it... I tossed what I thought was a crazy price of $800 to him thinking he would pass it up... Then he said OK I ll take it...
So next I picked up a replacement a 686-6 (the bottom one in the photo) I didn't like it though because it is much harder to get a good competition trigger... Now I am back with the 686-3 above...
