Hello rambuster1
I Like em just fine, but the early ones. Mine are both No dash 48's that are 4 screw examples. My 4" example shipped in 1961, and my 6" example shipped in December 1959 making it a First year 48. It later was sent to the factory for a fitted .22 LR cylinder shown beside it, and that cylinder has the Left hand threads opposed to the 1959 cylinder having the right hand threads. It shoot's the .22 LR ammo fine, and is very accurate but Lead bullets group better through it. I don't mind buying the .22 Magnum ammo for it, it gives back super accuracy for what little I spend on it...
