686 prices

[Browns fan]

What are pre lock 686s going for in your neck of the woods thanks just trying to get a feeling for what’s out there

 

[BAM-BAM]

Rarely ..... can't remember when...... I last saw one locally for sale.

Guessing they'd go for between $600-800 maybe $900 depending on barrel length.

I bought my 686-1 6" this year for $600 at a pawn shop in Ohio

I think this is good info

$600 used low end. Around $800 new depending on barrel length, and which model like 686+, pc, Lew horton, talo , or what ever variations they put out. My 686+ 4" is possibly my favorite range gun. I like it so much I got a 617 4" last weekend to match.

I scooped my 686-0 at a pawn shop for 6 beans... needed about 125.00 in work so I would say between 6 to 8 depending...

I this environment on the Least Coast I would be hard pressed to secure on <$850 almost regardless of condition. Another problem, there aren't any and I mean non. Cases are absolutely empty everywhere, the only thing I see on my local watering hole shelves are Ruger MK3s in all their varieties and an occasional S&W Victory sprinkled in. Local NICS has a 1 week backlog. Stores give out appointments with a 1 week wait to come in the store. You could call it a sellers market, only difference is the sellers have NO inventory to sell. I am trying to say: You see a gun you don't like and don't need...grab it.

Any $600 prelock 686 is a bargain, especially if it's a -4 or earlier, and/or has the original wood stocks. Box too...buy it immediately.
$800-9 for a clean 4" or 6" is the norm around here.

If you find one, Brownells has the 7 round cylinder for around $150

I got this 686-4 from a LGS just over a year ago with the combat stocks and original box for $600. I bought it as fast as I could! I had purchased a 686 on GunBroker for $500 that was worn the week before that and thought I had done well. Sold that one and kept this guy. Now my 1894 CSS has a good companion! I'd say for $600 in this environment it's a solid purchase.

There’s a 6” prelock 686 at my LGS for $695.

I paid $650 for my no dash 4” in June.

Sold a 686 no dash 6” barrel with box and tools locally last week for $750

I too have been wanting a 686 and passed over some because of the prices and hoping the prices would come down.

Hindsight is 20/20, I should have jumped on them.

I hope we get past the current fire arms drought very soon.

As the election nears and the ammo crisis continues, prices are going to be higher than usual. Here in my area before the quarantine used pre-lock 686's would be around $450-550.

Wish we could find any around the NW for that sort of pricing. Not much to be found out here and when you do they are is the $750+ zone.

The prices seem to be rising all the time. I have a couple of 6" and an 8 3/8, but haven't been able to get shorter barrel versions for a reasonable price. The 4" in nice condition, 7-9 easily and the 2.5's will be well north of that in the 11 -12 plus range depending upon condition grips on them etc. I don't know what is pushing them up so high, but they keep climbing.

I sold a LNIB 4" 686 no dash back in November for $1000.00

My 5" Stocking Dealer Exclusive 686-6+ went for $545.
I was surprised that it didn't go for more.



I kept my 6" 686 no-dash. Its not going anywhere except to the range.

The last I bought was about two years ago. It was a 4" dash 0 6 shot and I got it at a very reasonable price of $500.00 from a friend who owed me a favor. I already had a 7 shot 4" that I bought in a pawn shop about 10 years ago for $300.00 OTD. Both will go to my son when I take the dirt nap. That said, even in Mississippi (guns are usually cheaper here) most I see are going for $750.00+ .

Well the S&W 686, 686 +, 586 pre-lock will always carry a premium price tag, even more as time moves on. If you see one, and you have the coins, lay your money down and be glad.

The stocks are gorgeous. Gun, too.
