After a bit more than a year since I was really last "involved" in the rep scene... and about a year and half (or two years) since I've purchased my most recent rep... I find it is time to give the rep scene another go.
Mainly because my beloved 186 is beaten beyond recognition. Time for a new one.
I recall seeing that an "updated" 186 became available in 2008... AR, improved datewheel and mag, proper caseback. These are all features my 186 lacks.
I see that the cartel sellers offer the "updated" 186... I've also located another few sources among dealers here and elsewhere. My question is this....
Is the 2008 release of the "updated" model the best/most current? Any suggestions of a better choice?.... I'd be perfectly happy with a 252 as well... I could always swap my black dial into the 252 if I didn't care for the blue color.
My thanks, been reading a bunch today to get caught up... I missed this place.
