Hey INGO.
I just recently acquired a 1974 vintage model 66 no dash....shes rough and is probably going to go into carry rotation.
My issues are:
-Excessive endshake...the cylinder will darn near touch the forcing cone and the rear of the frame....didnt put a feeler gauge in there...but its a lot.
-Cylinder is sticky to open....ejector rod/star seems tight...?
I dont have much if any endshake on the crane.
Accuracy is so-so....I wasnt shooting at paper but I was shooting at a 6" steel plate with every other shot ringing steel....38's and light magnum reloads, all lead. I didnt shoot it much with it this sloppy.
No leading/shaving in the cone...no visible cracks.
Anyone know a good smith that can true and tighten this old girl up?
Please and thank you
God bless
