Just looking for a build date for my MOD.686

[JKBHUNTER]

S&W 686 357. Mag 6" barrel stainless pinned firing pin stamped MOD.686 Serial number AHR8246 picked it up for 500.00 at a show.

Thank You

Probably 1985.

Great buy. It is subject to recall. There’s literally almost NOTHING that S&W does, makes, sells or fixes that I want to go near at any cost, however this recall is something that I would do if it were mine.

Many folks don’t bother.

Ummmmmm


Where’s your rear sight? That’s probably gonna be about a hundred bucks. If someone can source ‘em cheaper, I’m listening.

Why "subject to recall"? Clue me in. Thanks.

All 686 no-dash and dash-1 are under recall for the firing pin bushing, guns that have been serviced and fixed have an “M” stamp on the frame flat under the yoke.
