The sight is square with the World, and the BC gap is .004 to .005 in. on all chambers. Good job! I have installed my Ahrends boot grips that I kept from my trade in 686. Now, I need to load some 125 gr plated flat point Xtreme with 7.0 gr HP-38, in MGN cases, and head for the range. Weight is 33.2 Oz empty with the Ahrends.


Best,

You guys are making it awfully hard to step away from one of these. Yes I wandered over to the new S&W's at my LGS yesterday but alas no new 66's. I'm afraid the wallet would of come out if there had been one in the case.
