Service on S&W 66-2

sgt-spam · June 21, 2008, 07:03 AM

I have a 20+ year old S&W 66-2 that was my dad's when he was a LEO. It's a great gun, and I LOVE shooting it...

Aside from cleaning and oiling when I'm done at the range, is there anything I should have done or examined on this firearm? It's very accurate, but I want to be sure it's also mechanically sound...

It seems to me there is a little play in the cylinder when I remove spent cartridges, but other than that, it feels great.

Thanks.

That thing is not only junk, it's dangerous junk--send it to me immediately and I will dispose of it for you. Due to my concern for your safety, I'll even pay for shipping

Seriously, though...

There are some very sharp revolver people on this forum, and lots to learn.
