I have a model 686 with an 8 3/8'' barrel and a adjustable front sight. The serial # is AUM8200. Can someone please tell me the approx. date it was made. Thank you.

That thing should be a real tack-driver! I have a 6" -3, and it is accurate, and fun to shoot. Posting pics is not that hard. It just limits you on size. That is why mine are not too wonderful! Bob

I use Photobucket for posting pics. Free and easy, and no tiny links for members to click on.

Here's my 686 no dash.

Thanks Kernel. I am from the early 50's and electronically cluless. I bought a camara about a year ago but cannot make it work. I think I BROKE IT! Maybe I will get another one and try again. I love looking at the pics of the older Smiths, wish I could take some pics.

THAT'S A BEAUTY, 307-Niner, AND AN EXCELLENT PHOTOGRAPH. I HAVE AN 8 3/8" N0-DASH THAT SHOOTS LIKE A RIFLE. IT HAS THE TRADITIONAL RAMP FRONT SIGHT. I'M THINKING THE ADJUSTABLE FRONT SIGHT MODELS WERE DESIGNED FOR USE IN SILHOUETTE GAMES. I LIKE THE NO-DASH 686s A GREAT DEAL. I HAVE A 2 1/2" ALSO. I SENT THAT ONE IN FOR THE "M" RECALL, AND HAD S&W CONVERT IT TO A 7 SHOOTER, WHILE IT WAS THERE. I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE 8 3/8", WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY A RANGE GUN, SO IT HAS NEVER BEEN MODIFIED…………...
