I was wondering if it would be possible to convert my 7 shot to a 6 or 8 shot? I’m not sure if it is possible and what all is  entailed to do the job correctly and what the possible cost would be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It’s a S&W 686 performance center 7 shot

Frame isn't big enough, cylinder wouldn't fit, barrel wouldn't line up.

 

The cost greatly depends on what gunsmiths charge in your area. Parts would probably be about 150 -180 if you can get a hold of a 6 shot new style cylinder.

 

It might be more economical to sell your 7 shooter and buy one of the 9 billion 6 shot 686s out there in the wild.

Info greatly appreciated. I’ve tried to sell the gun on Enos. Being it seems to not be of anyone’s interest and I haven’t been able to trade it for a 625JM I’m toying with the idea of changing things to try something different.
