Need DOB for S&W M686-3?
An S&W M686-3, followed me home today(With a four-inch barrel)! The serial number is, BHJ-1309. I need the date of birth? Also, was the M686-3(Based upon the time that my gun, was made?)one of the good quality, M686's(Before the quality, of these gun's, went "Down hill"?)? This M686-3, was "Unfired"!

Std. Catalog shows "birth" between Mar and July of 1991.
Quality for that era is typically good. But I have a bias for older Smith's ... which BTW dosen't stop me from acquiring newer ones[:D]
As for value ... at 100% $500 +/- $25-$30 and in some markets there will be a slight premium for a 4 inch bbl.
If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!0 -
ContenderMan:
1)Did your Standard Catalog of S&W, actually, show the serial number range, that my gun's serial number(BHJ-1309)was in(Or, did you need to interpolate this?)?
2)If my gun's serial number range(Is listed in the SCSW?)then, would you tell me, on what page, this can be found(As I will then, try to find, the latest edition, of the SCSW, in my local Book Stores?)so I can read this information, myself? I will appreciate your doing this? Thanks also, for your "Input" here!
3)Do you know of a S&W contact(Phone number or Emil Address?)where such information, about any S&W handgun, could be obtained?0 -
Page 296 Mar. 1991 Started with BHE and Jul. 1991 Started with BHJ8613, so hence "between Mar. '91 and Jul '91".
