If you own any late model S&W revolver (last 20 years or so) it has a high likelihood of having a canted barrel.I have a S&W 686-6 6" with a canted barrel.
Here's a question for you.
Stevens Model 66 restoration project
This poor old .22 bolt action rifle (circa 1920) was poorly maintained and is worth virtually nothing except for the sentimental value it has for my wife's family. So, I'm in the process of a complete disassembly and deep cleaning of it.
I've run into a road block with the disassembly and I need a little advice.
For the life of me I can't figure out how to remove the stud from the brass inner magazine tube. I figured it must have been press fit through a hole in the knurled end cap but no amount of beating on it has had any effect. Today's Henry .22 rifles use the same design for its brass inner magazine tube.
Your words of wisdom would be most appreciated.
Here you can see the pointed end of the stud.

And here's the flat end of the stud.

Thanks for the confirmation. Tomorrow I'll pull out the ball peen hammer and start wailing away at that thing.Steve,
That pin is just being stubborn. It will drive out with a punch used on the flat end of the pin. You are correct, it does go through the end cap to maintain that piece in place. Once the pin is removed, the spring inside the tube is going to propel that end cap quickly out of place, so make sure that the cat is NOT in the way.
Before whacking it, put a little light machine oil around the pin on both sides of the tube and let it soak in before removal and use a good quality punch that won't mushroom.Thanks for the confirmation. Tomorrow I'll pull out the ball peen hammer and start wailing away at that thing.

It's safe to shoot, but the barrel was unsupported when it was tapered. I've bought barrel blanks that were like that and when I cut between centers, it evened it out. Here's the problem though, the centerline of the bore is offset to the barrel contour.Have you ever seen a barrel this eccentric? And is it safe to shoot? Ive shot 10 rounds through it, but wouldnt mind a second opinion.

Yeah well apparently you don’t know the answer beyond the obvious.Ask yourself this; Where was the barrel made? If in the US, SAAMI. If Europe, CIP.
So what's the answer?Yeah well apparently you don’t know the answer beyond the obvious.
