A dealer I know is selling a Smith & Wesson 686-3, 8-3/8" barrel, Eighties-era (no lock) for $500.00 as a consignment, though I think i could talk it down. Previous owner used it as a carry piece, my guess is for hunting or camping based on the holster that is with it.
The nickel finish is in the shape you would expect from a nickel finish revolver that was carried in a nylon holster with no apparent padding. Is there anything that can be done to it, finish-wise? I am interested in the gun as a shooter, but I hate having guns, especially shiny ones, all scratched to shit. Honestly if I can get a bit knocked off the price and there is nothing to be done for the finish, I might buy it and have it DuraCoated.
