Smith and Wesson 686-1 4 inch barrel, stainless, serial #AVD5932 with a M stamped below it. Neighbor is selling, think I might get it for around $400 plus or minus a few dollars. Comes with a cheap holster and some white box ammo, somewhere along the line it acquired a set of Pachmayer grips. Taking it to the range first, but curious as to what year it was made. He bought it used back in the 90's and has never fired it. Barrel looks to be in fair condition , may be a bit of lead or pitting in the middle between two grooves, I have not cleaned it yet so I am not sure what it is other than a small discolored spot. Could be spider dung for all I know, he has carried it under the back seat in his truck for years now.
