I picked this baby up yesterday. Curious what you guys think!!

you can see an outline where other grips have been

The gun is dirty in the pictures, dusty and tarnished. I will clean it to look really nice.

Seems to havent been fired, but it has been played with guessing by the turn line. I have the box, papers tools.

I do have questions on the stocks, they are cutout so they are to new, I guess. I havent seen RB over sized stocks before. Are they target stocks? They arent marked with a sn. The box label has stocks "R"


What do you think its worth? I am into it $700 total around here I dont think I did bad. This is an expensive area for guns. I havent found another this nice and its only the second 66 I have seen local in over a year.

Nice gun. Others with more expertise will be along, but as to the stocks, it would be easier to tell if they are targets if we saw the left side.

Congrats

Shweeet. I have one just like it, although with standard wood grips. It is my daily carry. I polished mine to the point it looks nickle.

I really like your grips. I wonder if those are what are called "Banana Grips". Whatever they are, they are beautiful.

Hard to beat a 66 snubbie for PD carry, imho. Nice revolver.

Very nice M66. Gotta love it. The grips were added and not standard, but make it much more shootable with mag. loads.
