Description:
Here is the final form of the immensely popular classic S&W .357 Combat Magnum Stainless, the Model 66-7. This one’s serial number prefix is CHS, manufactured in July, 2004. The Model 66, of course, was discontinued in 2005, much to our disappointment. This 66-7 is the final variant after the K frame was strengthened and lengthened some time around 1998 with several of the 66-5s, and MIM case colored .312 smooth combat trigger and .375 semi-target cleat serrated hammer. Barrel, of course, is 4 inches, and the weight empty is a well balanced 38 ounces. This was one of the few made with the new two-piece barrel and recessed muzzle. It comes with Smith & Wesson’s patented internal lock and two keys, and it is legal for transfer to eligible California and Massachusetts residents. This 66 comes to us from the collection of our favorite Oklahoma Vietnam Vet, who traded it to us on a Vietnam Era Model 14. This one’s surface detractions are minimal, principally moderate rotation marking, edge whitening to the sights, and faint amounts of edge scouring at one or two places. We rate it as Excellent, 90 percent vicinity by our estimate; photos, at any rate, ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. The recessed area of the muzzle had a moderate amount of carbon fouling, normal for this late type of revolver. We rate it as 85 to 90 percent finishwise, but photos should suffice for interested parties to judge finish grade for themselves. Grips are new replacement Hogue Combat Conversion grips, for a Square Butt feel on a round butt grip frame. This 66-7 in Excellent Mechanically. Bore and cylinder chambers are bright, clean, and excellent. Blast effect to the underside of the frame top strap is negligible and only amounts to a faint etchy streak that traverses about 1/3 of the width of the top strap. Lateral play to the cylinder is minimal, less than 1/2 mm by our estimate, both with the trigger pulled and with it relaxed. Double action trigger pull is smooth and consistent, and the hammer travels an exceptional 15 degrees after the cylinder times into place in all six positions. On single action, the hammer travels an additional 30 to 35 degrees after the cylinder times, and the single action trigger pull is a crisp original 4 1/2 pounds. Cylinder face to forcing cone gap is a tight .005. Other specs are Red Ramp front sight and windage adjustable flat white outline sight. We have had positive experience with the later floating firing pin variant Smith & Wessons like this one, and very positive reports from our Arizona marksmen who really put them through their paces. This revolver comes in a new Smith & Wesson plastic case with two keys for its internal lock.
