I have an old 66-1 that I just love. I bought from a friend of a friend that needed the money and didn't have any interest in guns (he inherited it) and I was glad to rescue it from sitting in an attic or something.
Here's my question. There is a bit of front to back cylinder play in this gun. I measured the cylinder gap with the cylinder all the way back and it is about .007, a little more than half that by eyeballing it without pushing the cylinder back. By back I mean pushing the cylinder towards the hammer.
Should this amount of slop be fixed, or am I worrying about nothing? I haven't fired it much but I've never had any problems with it.
I take that back, I have one problem with it, I can't shoot a snub very well.
Also, if anyone knows a year it was made I'd love to know. The serial prefix is 32K.
Thanks for any help.
