Just curious about why the cylinder wouldn't index on a NIB revolver, and that required replacement of the cylinder stop. I guess anything's possible, but it's surprising that the factory would let one go that way, especially given the quality of the 66-2 era guns.

Anybody care to venture a guess without me taking this over to the Smithing section?
I was wondering the same thing. If it didn't index, that sounds like a hand issue, but you never know without your own exam. The good thing is the gun works properly now.

However, keep an eye on it. I would be hesitant to take a revolver to any local gunsmith. Colt or S&W, because most gunsmiths aren't actually master pistolsmiths, which is what one should be if working on them. Most are just 'advanced assemblers' and probably not trained on revolvers. So if I need work, it goes to a master via mail.
