Back when the Mod 66's first came out, I experienced the "lock up" problem. After about 3 cylinderfulls of .357 ammo, fired in relatively rapid fire time, it would lock up. The heat build up would dissapate after about 20-30 minutes and would then operate fine. I believe the fix was to replace the cylinder with one of a different alloy.
