Thanks to OKVET03 who knew i was in the market for one of these, he found one last week at the tulsa show. Its an honest gun from Sept of 66. Its a score at $110.

Had one once. Used it as trade material. Should of kept it. Decent shooter but not a tack driver. Always suspected the barrel band did not help.

Why would the barrel band effect accuracy? Not arguing, just asking.

The barrel band was pretty tight and squeezed the forearm down on the barrel. Figured it changed the way the barrel vibrated as the wood expanded and contracted with humidity worse than if it wasn't held in there really tight.
