One today for the seriously “old skool” out there, a new airsoft-take on the classic S&W Model 686 L Frame! Introduced in the 1980s, the Model 686 saw service with the French GIGN and the United States Navy SEALs during amphibious operations, the United States Border Patrol’s legacy U.S. Customs Services, and some marine police departments due to the Model 686 being made of stainless steel.
And who is making this wondrous “blast from the past” in 6mm form?
ARES!
Yup, the same ARES we know best for their AEGs and bolt-action sniper rifles!
Seen on the REDWOLF site ready for pre-order, they tell us that;
“ARES have decided on a new direction by adding an adjustable hop-up unit to their entry, the ARES S&W 686, as it has a TDC style hop and can be adjusted with an Allen key; this advantage outshines most revolvers in the market, so if you join a revolver-only game with this, you know you have range and accuracy on your side!
Other than having a proper Hop Up system, ARES kept what shooters like about airsoft revolvers, the removable shells; these shells are made with attention to detail, although the tip is made of rubber, to hold the seal to the BB, right under it is a copper tip and under that, an aluminium casing! The result is each shell looking like an actual hollow-point bullet, and to make reloading easier, and a full moon clip is included with the shells allowing for easy and faster reloads.
But the icing on the cake that comes with the ARES S&W 686 is that it comes with textured real wood grips; for this price point, real wood is almost unheard of, not to mention the texturing, which offers a grippy yet comfortable grip.”
Features:
- Full Metal Construction
- Real Wood Grips
- CO2 Powered
- Comes with 6 Shells and a Full Moon Clip
- Adjustable Hop-Up & Rear Sight
Now there are those among the AA Crew that do love a revolver, and this is sure to be something that they’ll lust after! Available in different lengths, we’re also told that ARES will launch a bunch of accessories in the near future to make the ARES S&W 686 even more skirmish-able allowing you to even run it as a main secondary!
What’s not to love!
