After a good going-over and Nanolube, ~~one~~ ten box(es) of ammo, and then it takes an honored place as a safe queen.

Fixed it for you. :-)

Seriesly Win-Mag you'll find that is a great shootin' old wheel gun. A Tyler T adapter or a set of Pacs will make it a lot easier on the old hand. Kudos on snagging a fine example of Messers Smith and Wesson handiwork. They truly don't build 'em like that any more.

It came with a set, already. I'm still going to give it a good tune-up before firing it.

I'm actually more of a traditionalist when it comes to revolvers. They should be made of high-carbon or stainless steel, with five shots for the J-frame, and six for everything else in the S&W lineup. Everything else is unnatural, IMHO. The only exception is the S&W BG38, which is its own unique, clean-sheet-of-paper, design.

The Model 66 has seen duty as a holster weapon, and has marks on the finish from at least two different types of aftermarket grips. One reason I love stainless steel is that I can "touch it up" with a fine plastic scouring pad. Where a blued finish gets thin, stainless just gets polished.

One thing I don't like about stainless is its tendency to gall, but that's one of the things I use Nanolube for. It's played a crucial role in my Ruger 10/22 and 22/45 work, along with my M-faux projects. As far as my motor skills go, I'm a klutz. But penetrating oil with nanometer diamonds suspended in it lets me fit and hone parts almost to the microscopic level.
