Model 64 2" ID and question

[julio793]

Just brought home a Model 64 snub. Could someone help me with a serial# lookup? The barrel is pinned so I know it's pre 1982 but I would like to be more precise if possible.

#D7266xx

Also, how much forward/backward play is acceptable for the barrel? There is zero lateral movement in full lockup but there is a slight amount of front to back movement.

Thanks in advance!

Your 64 was shipped in 1975. Hope that helps.

Yes that's great. Thank you!

If you are referring to the 'cylinder' having a sight movement in battery that is normal. If the barrel moves you have a problem.

You are right - I meant movement of the cylinder. I am a new revolver owner and I and still working on my terminology. I can see now why it may have been confusing. Thank you!

A small amount of back and forth movement ("endshake") is normal, and shims are available to correct excessive play. Until then, enjoy!

Thanks. I will!
