The Model 66 3" impossible question.

[SuperMan]

...don't remember what - mine is..2 I think... Best shooting .357 going... Wish I was a .357 shooter but when I shoot revolvers it is usually a .41. This was the first and last time I ever shot mine....

I recently found a K Comp 19. It is an early Lew Horton without the box. Although it is in excellent condition I don't know if I am going to keep it. I had an F comp and I sold it in a weak moment a few years ago. also had one of the Ashland 3 inch 66's and let it go about 10 years ago. I wish I had all the guns I have sold over the years.

Great thread. I came across it this morning while doing some research on my 3" that I'm considering offering up for a trade.

Mine is identical to the one in Post #12 - rubber grips, new-style cylinder latch, new style rear sight and pinned stainless red ramp front sight - new in box with papers and lock.

I also have a 3.25" Hi-Viz.

Nice revolvers! I am about to aquire a 66 2-inch barrel.

 

[flagman1776]

bought mine at LGS 8-1986 AHL08XX Not P or R. I hand made a copy of a Bianchi 5BHL holster & this gun accompanies me on may horse rides in the back country.

 

[BAM-BAM]

I picked up a 3" 66-4 used about 5 years ago.....Serial # BRR____. If I carry a k frame it's the one.

I also have 2 66-3s I bought new when I lived in Harrisburg Pa. in IIRC 1988-89. I had a 3" 65 and I remember telling this gunsmith that I wish I could get a 3" 66 to have the full length ejector rod.

All now wear Spegel Boot grips.

This Smith ( who lived in Hershey) told me a "local" distributor (Harrisburg area) had some 3 inch 66s; they had been on the shelf for a while, and that he couldn't move them. (everyone wanted high cap 9mms). He said he could get me one for (approx.) $270. I was shocked when he called me a week later.....I went to see it expecting a 2.5 incher but lo-and-behold it was a 3 inch barrel. I asked if there were any more and he got me a second...... I was going to give it to my Dad.

But; about that time I got my first 6906, which became my carry gun; Dad some how got my 686/no dash (round butted) and my 3inch 65.

Both 66-3s guns got the actions polished..... one has maybe <100 rounds through it; the other, I don't recall ever firing it .....at most one (short) range session.

snw19_357:I will get the Serial numbers on the 66-3s later today or tomorrow.

 

[BAM-BAM]

Just checked the boxes..... both my 66-3s are BBNxxxx.

Special order # 8294

SCS&W; looks like July-Oct of 1988..... so I'm thinking I got them in the summer of 1989.

I looked for a three inch Model 66 for years to accompany my 2.5 and four inch guns. Then I found two in less than a week.

The top is a 66-2 and on the bottom, a 66-5. The dash 5 is a Lew Horton gun. (Apologize for the poor quality phone photo)

Since this seems to be sort of a catalog record of them I will show my 66-3 again. Its a 1 of 300 made for lew horton. serial # is 088 and elsewhere is PCP 0141.
Mine differs from the ad as the stocks are wood. I seen another right after I bought mine with the same wood but that one also had a diamound ivory inlay.

Here's a picture of mine. It has been given a matte finish and fitted for moon clips.

66-3 2 1/2"

My 2 1/2" has BFPxxxx
it is not pinned or recessed. I had a 66 in mid 70's, so had to get another...have a 637 & a 629 8 3/8" to go with it....

 

[4ts&w]

I'm not sure how to read the serial..

It looks like it says B2. And then 38947.

It's a 3in 66-2

 

[haris1]

serial number is not what you say

Take the grips off and the serial numberia always on the butt for smiths
