Smith 586 -3 year of manufacture.

[magnumair]

I have a 586 -3 with a 4'' barrel that looks like new but has the fireing pin in the hammer so it is an older one. Am curious to know when it was made. The serial # is BHH3700. any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Should be 1991. Probably between March and July.

Did your gun come with the box and papers? I just got one and I'm trying to figure out if I have the correct papers.

Year of manufacture?

Just bought a S&W 586-3 with a 4'' barrel.It has the firing pin in the hammer so I know it is a older one but it is in new condition. The person I bought it from got it from an estste sale and only had it a short time so really had no info. This is the serial #BHH3700. I would really appreciate if someone could tell me when it was made.

Thank You,


Benson.

Thank you very much. I did not get a box or papers only the gun. Thought I posted in the wrong forum so I posted this question twice. Sorry for any confusion.

Welcome to the forum. According to SCSW, your gun was produced between May and July 1991.

Welcome to the Forum! You should love the 586! I have a 586 no dash from 1983. They are great shooters. I shoot mine better than my other 4 inchers. Bob

All -3's and -4's (and all previous) came with the firing pin on the hammer

I am looking at the same model in similar condition for $599. Do you mind me asking what you gave for yours?

My cost.

I paid $525.00 for my 4'' one. I also bought a 586 -3 with a 8 3/8'' barrel and the ajusable front sight from a 80 year old. Says he is original owner and bought it in 1986. Now he says he only shot it once when he bought it, 1 box 50 shots but said it is to heavy for him so sat for 25 years unused. When I saw it I could not believe it, the blueing is as shiny as chrome and still has the original big wooden grips on it. I have never seen a gun look any newer. I gave him $600.00 right on the spot. I live in Canada so these prices are not out of line here. Shot them both today for the first time and all I can say is wow, real beauties.
