Boxed Ultra-Rare Smith Wesson 686-5 Pre-Lock .357 MAG 3 Barrel, 7-Shot Cylinder
Posted: March 18, 2025 (2 weeks ago)
Serious collectors and revolver enthusiasts, here’s your chance to own an exceptionally rare Smith & Wesson 686-5 pre-lock in a highly sought-after 3” barrel and 7-shot cylinder configuration. With fewer than 100 ever produced, this L-frame powerhouse is a true gem for any collection.
Key Features:
🔹 Caliber: .357 Magnum / .38 Special
🔹 Barrel Length: 3 inches
🔹 Capacity: 7 rounds
🔹 Action: Double/Single
🔹 Frame: L-frame, pre-lock design
🔹 Condition: Excellent (see photos)
🔹 Box: Original (label partially torn, but serial matches last four digits) I do not have the documents just the box.
Includes original S&W Logo hogue grips which is what it shipped with
I am the third owner, and the second owner purchased it from a shop where, unfortunately, most of the label was removed (I wish I knew why they did this!). However, the visible portion of the serial matches, making me confident this is the original box—but I’ll let you be the judge. Mechanically, the revolver is in excellent condition with no issues, bank vault lockup, and timing. The bore and cylinder chambers are mint and the mechanical working order is flawless.
This is a rare opportunity to own a nearly unobtainable pre-lock Smith & Wesson 686-5 in a collector-grade configuration.
I’m parting with this beauty as I’m downsizing my collection due to my infant Son.
If you cannot travel, I am happy to ship the revolver.
