Perfect, that's it! Thanks for the help and link! Is the sight supose to be bowed up very much as mine is if the back isn't held down by this screw or should it be bent back down a bit before putting it all back together? I'm just trying to gauge how much upward tension the sight should be...

I have acquired a used S&W model 66 with a rear sight problem that I'm trying to figure out how to fix. The front screw in the rear adjustable sight is screwed all the way in like normal but the rear end of the sight is bowed upwards to the point that the bottom of the rear elevation adjustment...

The Serial Number is K721xxx. Does anyone know what year it was made? Thanks! -Anna Sophia

Here it is! [/IMG]

Picked it up yesterday for $350 and it's pretty sweet! I took the grips off to give it a nice lightly oiled cloth wipe down and the grips are stamped with the guns serial number, so they appear to be original. It's nice to snag a deal once in a while! Thanks for the help guys! -Anna Sophia

I have a guy holding a 15-2 in great condition (90-95%?) with 4" bbl. It has very slight muzzle bluing wear and the usual cylinder ring but the rest is super clean and even the original wood grips are nice without dings or scratches, etc. He want's $350 out the door. I really like it because...

I'll pick it up first thing in the morning. Thanks for the input! --Annasophia

I found a 66-5 with a 2.5" barrel and adj. sights in about 98% condition that I can get for $400 cash. I currently carry an airweight .38 J frame, so this seems like more of a fun toy than something I'd carry for everyday SD...although I'd for sure take it hiking/camping. How do these guns...

Sorry for the Ruger question here, but I have a Ruger Blackhawk in .357 and like to play around with moderately hot hand-loads and cast lead bullets. Probably 80% of my shooting is cast lead from Bumble-bee and Laser-cast in .38 spl brass. I bought the gun used in about 90% condition, so it was...

I've been looking for an older S&W for a while just because I like the vintage look and want a quality old shooter to play with. I found a couple model 1905 K-frames today in pawn shops. One 4" model in probably around 80% condition for $325 + tax (SN: 3719xx) and the other is a 6" version of...

I've done some experimenting with small rifle primers in my ruger blackhawk and not a single problem was experienced in a full box of 100 primers. I have just stocked up big time on SR primers so I think I'll be using these in my revolvers for a while. Self....Great day!! Thanks for all the...

Can I use cci small rifle 400 primers while reloading .38 spl and .357 mag? Is there much of a difference between these primers compared to regular small pistol primers regarding these calibers? -Anna Sophia

I'm not crazy about the internal locks either. The 686 is pre-lock of course, but the 60-15 is cursed with one. I do have a couple S&W's with the IL and have never had a single hicup from one, but I still just don't care for them and if I had a choice, I'd rather they go away....but with our...

I have the opportunity to buy two nice pieces and I would like some input and opinion regarding which, if either is a good deal. One is a 2" 686 (no dash) in near new 99% condition for $550 and the other a Pro Series 60-15 3" with the internal lock and wood grips and Trijicon front sight for in...
