My, My!!! Dontcha just luv that full under lug...Congrats :D :D

[panzer426]

I think you will be very unhappy with it so why dont you save yourself that trouble and just give it to me? :)
seriously though...beautiful gun!

Nice!

Looks just like my 4" 686 (no dash). Actually, yours is prettier, mine has some blackening on the cylinder face that I just haven't taken the time to scrub off. Too much hassle, and I'd just end up dirtying it up in another couple of days anyway :D .

[boa2]

Bullrock:

1)I think maybe that heavy underlug is going to make me shoot too low(HA! HA! HA!)!
2)Thanks, for your nice compliment! :p (BTW, you have been doing pretty good yourself, lately(What with that beautiful new(Blued)Special Edition, Model 586-7!))! How do you like it?

panzer426:

1)No, I think that I'll keep my 686-3(For now!)but, you never know, I could put it up for sale, one day?
2)Thanks for your(Well received!)compliment! :D

gb in ga:

1)Try a "Lead Away" cloth on that blackened part of the cylinder on your 686-as it will easily remove that stuff better than anything else! Works great! :eek:
2)Thanks for your nice compliment, also! :D

and i thought I was the only one to feel that way. when i was shooting in oklahoma i was running about 100-150 rounds a night thru my King Cobra, 3-4 times a week. man did i burn alot of ammo...

that didnt include the AR

9MM1033:

1)My-my-my, indeed! You have a "Beautiful" 686-5 there! :eek: :)

2)What kind of wood are those Hogue stocks made out of(I really like the color(And graining!)in the wood? :confused: :D

[Bullrock]

I think your new baby (686-3) is prettier than my 586-7 ;) Enjoy!!!

Congrats boa! Very nice find! Those L-Frames are real tackdrivers...You can shoot the heck outta them all day long!!CAUTION! 686's are addictive(I know...I now have 2 686's and a 586.) So take it to the range and give it a good workout! Enjoy....Norm.

boa2,
2)What kind of wood are those Hogue stocks made out of(I really like the color(And graining!)in the wood?
The color is called, PAU FERRO. Finger grooved with no accent stripe. The color/grain is enhanced with a coat of Johnson's paste wax.

I recall posting a comment that, "firing a 686 was better than sex". What I really meant that it was my Viagra substitute....BTW, it's time for the monthly chore, so I'm off to the range..... :D

[Bullrock]

My Eagle Grips arrived today! Here's my short 686...

Bunch of nice L-frames here! I really need to replace my rubber grips on mine.

Bullrock:

You have a top notch 686 there! Short on barrel length-but, long on good looks! Congratulations! See, I told you that I was going to have to run, to keep up with you! I'm going to have to find another nice gun to post some pictures of-so I can file another notch on it's grips(To indicate that I had made another "Score"(Before Bullrock beat me to the punch!)! :eek: :rolleyes:
