Gary, can a 6 round 357 model 686 have its cylinder reamed out to your 356GNR?
A friend needs some money and is selling some stuff and he has a heavy barreled performance center for sale as well as a red label that I have always wanted. Trying to justify buying both! Ha!

for a 356 conversion then I will buy it and put it in the safe for future project. He is selling a number of guns, these are the only 2 that fit my taste. I did find him buyers for the ones I did not want.

As for family and tithing, that is covered. I like your perspective.

the 356 GNR is based on a 41 Magnum case and the 686

is too small for that in a 6 shot. It would have to be a 5 shot cylinder.

That's what I needed to hear, thanks boss.
