I'm blown away that you guys have both had Model 66's with canted barrels. I thought the whole reason behind going to the two-piece barrel is that they aren't prone to canting problems. I can easily see why putting a barrel on perfectly straight as a solid, one piece unit would be tough with the right amount of torque. I simply can't understand how a two-piece barrel can be canted. That seems overly sloppy to me.
