Welcome!
The standard S & W reference shows AAL9000 being made in 10/1982, so yours is close to that. By the way, you added the number 7 to the digits.
The 8662X is an assembly number; you should see it on the right lower side of the grip frame with the stocks off, indicating the major parts (yoke, frame and inside of sideplate) were original to the gun.

Welcome to the Forum! You didn't provide us with much information about your S&W Model 686 (e.g. barrel length: 2-1/2", 4", 6", or 8-3/8"), so we're kind of guessing on what you have. Murphydog is correct with his 1982 manufacture date based on your s/n AAL2493. The Model 686 .357 Distinguished Combat Magnum (stainless steel) was introduced in 1980 and continued until the 686-1 was released in 1986. There were special production runs of the 686 for certain firearm distributors (Lew Horton, etc.) as well as for numerous federal and state law enforcement agencies. Do you happen to have the original box for your revolver? If so, the label will have the s/n, a Product Code, and a Spec Features number. That information will identify when a revolver was manufactured, what features it has, and if it was a special order. You may have a revolver that is worth more than just a standard Model 686. 686s are great revolvers...fun and comfortable to shoot, and accurate. Enjoy!
Welcome to the forum.
Yeah my fat fingers put an extra 7 in the serial number.
No box, I got it second hand but in like new condition.
6" barrel.
Red/orange ramp front sight.
Adjustable rear.
I doube it's anything special except it has no dash.
I'll have to dig my 586 no dash out for a date too.
Thanks for the info.
Kenny

Fixed.
Thanks for catching my mistake.
