[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 3604506, member: 48072"] Good luck, and I hope your 66-1 turns into a great shooter! I made my first ever mistake on Gunbroker by purchasing a 66-1 that was advertised as having a TT and TH. Thinking it was rare, and wanting a P&R 66 I bought it... ...Turns out somebody had managed to grind a case hardened N-Frame trigger and hammer down to where it fit in the frame. My first double action pull was smooth as could be...tried it in SA, and noticed 1/8" of play before the hammer dropped. Oops. Got the necessary parts off of Gunbroker and put it back together in original configuration. Gave it to dad a few years back as a Christmas present and it is an absolute laser. He loves it, and that was where I got my start in S&W revolver gunsmithing. Win/win I guess, but I never want to go that route again. My 629 no-dash was advertised as 98%. The outside was, but it had been shot a ton and was pretty loose. I think it has a .002 shim in both the cylinder and yoke IIRC. It shoots great, but I keep the heavy magnums for my other .44s. I'm sure you know, but just in case: the extractor rods on Smiths unscrew clockwise (backwards). Don't want to have to replace one of those too. [/QUOTE]
