    I was looking around at a gun store and I found a Smith and Wesson 686 on sale used for 320 bucks and I think I'm gonna buy it but before I do I wanted to get some extra opinions about the revolver. Pros cons stories whatever.

    Found a nice 4" S&W 686 at the Cabela's in Hammond and had to check it out.

    The top strap showed no cutting, it had very little rotational drag line, the forcing cone was clean edged, the rifling was sharp, the cylinder locked up very tight, and the trigger break was crisp.

    It kept saying "Take me, take me" in a wee small voice.

    I felt sorry for it, and decided to give it a new home just out of charity.

    I will need to see if its range voice is a bit louder than its store voice.

    My backyard range is now calling "Bring it on".

    I must obey.

    The frame carries the S.N. and it's on his books. Hence the FFL transfer. [;)]

    $45 for shipping [?] [:0][B)]
    Then you still have to pay your FFL too. [V]

    That frame is not useable as is, and cannot be "readily converted" to a working firearm, so it is NOT a firearm, and NOT required to be shipped to a dealer.

    If it came to me cut like that, it would NOT go in my bound book. It is scrap metal. If it came to me intact, and I destroyed it, the "disposition" side of the book would be notated "destroyed" and the date.

    That's all. It is not a gun anymore.

    I agree that hack job isn't a gun but in the auction description said parts are to be shipped to a FFL.

    I hope not tazzer. That would be one expensive set of grips.
    I think that FFL lingo is standard for any gun related auction. Maybe he forgot to edit it out?

    I prefer the standard checkered grips with the S&W logo.
    Hate the pachmayr grips. They turn your hands black and don't look good at all. Look cheap also. To me real guns have wood stocks/grips.

    I'm a wood guy/former carpenter. [;)]
