Hi, just purchased a pair of revolvers, 686-6 and 617-6, serial #s are CHL2*** AND CHK4***

any ideas about when these might have been shipped from the factory. I bought them in B.C. and they are being shipped to Nova Scotia. waiting for them to arrive.

Really, you ordered in Nov and won't get until July? Wow!

I am really more interested in when mine were made. I realize that the dates from S&W are shipping dates but at least in the ballpark. Any ideas?
