...What a few dozen hardcore enthusiasts want is probably a pretty poor way to predict what would really sell. The vast majority of S&W sales are to people that are gun owners but not gun enthusiasts. I suspect a lot of the guns we are clamoring for in the forum would sell in very low volumes. S&W has actual sales data to show what people are really buying. And its not mountain revolvers. They made those in the past and quit because they were not selling enough....

Maybe a solution would be to do what Ruger does and offer "distributor specials" through Lipsey/Talo/Davidson etc.

Want a 686 Mtn Gun in a 6 shot. Missed them when they first came around and they are almost impossible to find.

I'd like a 610 MG.

Mine is a 7 shot. I didn't know they made a 6 shot.

"I keep wondering what the minimum order would be for a small run from the factory..200?"

There is purported to be less than 50 of these. I believe the number is actually 42. They were special ordered. They were then shipped to the new owners. Then, they were shipped back to the factory. They sat on the shelf at the factory for about two years. Then they were all sold through one sporting goods outfit.

It will be interesting to see if S&W gears up for this model ever again.
I know that I cherish the ones I have and they are the absolute, to me, the best design for a .22 that Smith made. It covers all the bases. Good weight, adjustable sights, non-full lug, ten shots, and, ALL stainless. And, if you think the internal lock is a joysucker for this .22, then you ain't never gonna be completely happy.

Great working man's gun.

enjoy,

Mr Green you're making me jealous! I have mtn guns in 357/44 mag/45 acp & 45 LC. Passed on the 41 since I don't do 41. Smith was sneaky with the 617 mtn gun and all were gone before I could get one.

I to would love to have a 617 MG to go with my 357 and 44.

I asked Lipsey's and they said Smith isn't as accommodating as Ruger is.

The 686 mtn gun is a 7 shot. Not 6.........I have one.

 

[oldman10mm]

The 686-6 had 6 shot MGs'.

Mine is a 6shot, shoots with the best of them!
