it's a 686 (no dash) no lock/no mim model with a square butt frame. Was kind of wondering when it was made (1985 to 1989 maybe?). I pretty much got it so I could possibly use the grips on my k-frame. maybe I'll sell the gun or maybe I won't depending on how it shoots.

Not a rare model, but there are some good deals to be had on distress sales these days.

Man! Biggest splooge so far! But not as much as Bobula will.

Mike100, Want to trade your 6 shooter for a 7 shooter? You can keep the grips. What do you say Boss?

Come on, where'd ya find it? Is there some secret treasure trove of under-priced consignment guns you are sitting on?

He's probably not coming back to his PC, he's waiting for the credit union to open for a loan.

Haha.. yeah I got distracted. I went to shoot it so I could try out the laser and a couple of reloads I had made earlier. It's as accurate as you'd expect it to be too. I would have come back sooner, but I accidentally bought a car on the way home from the range. I never did tell them I had a 357 in my truck, but I did ask them to pop the trunk for me as soon as we traded key sets.

To answer the other questions: I already have a 686-6 7-shooter and the place I found it was the San Marcos Turners. I think I caught the employees between paychecks and it probably only sat there for two or three hours. The first thing I asked was "What was wrong with it?" I'm not yet sure if I'll trade, sell, or keep.

btw, where do you get such a small allen key to adjust the windage on the beam?

[JTROKS]

I have that allen wrench, trade ya for your latest 686? Excellent score!
You're too far away to trade anyway. I was gonna offer a Colt 380 for trade. Do you have a S&W 66 w a 2.5" barrel with the fancy finger groved wood grips? How about a S&W 19-4 6" barrel? A 2nd gen Glock 21? An 8 year old boy that giggles all the time? Let me know.

$359.00? I think they screwed you on the grips to the tune of about $100.00. Nice of them to throw the gun in for free.
