Apache Hawk 60642 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 More of tha white stuff comin' tonight...... Cold...... Snowy......... WHITE STUFF!!!!!!!!! Ready fer spring! ~EE Taft~ Git a 66 in 45LC. I got one and I love it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EE Taft Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 It has begun the snowin' and blowin' here............ ............'bout two more inches. I been out four wheel drivin' in it. Apache, The only thing that I worry about is this........... How hard is it to change the springs in the '66 compaired to the '73? The '73 having the removeable side plates looks to be much easier. If the '66 is easy enough for my feable mind to figure out then that is the only way I would go. I love a '66. just worry about slickin' it up as I like to do all that myself. ~EE Taft~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm goin' fer a CC gun. ~EE Taft~ Darn you took Marlin out of it I don't have a dog in the fight.. lol.. So, I would say..................... one of each cuz I am a gun tramp.. loll. Bought a little Colt 22 derrigner today, geesh EE there were so many cool guns there... I love single actions but I pretty much fell in love with a lot of non-singles today.. now while I would never even consider dating a married man, I would consider taking home a lot of the non-single guns today.. lol... Bad joke, huh? lol.. They had a space gun, it was so cool... but te 1911 Springfield was shinny and had a pearl handle I love it.. Oh, gosh I loved the little engraved 22 too... If I ever win the lotto I am moving to a large lot with a workshed, and a Huge Gun Safe.. I will just live in the gun safe, that is where I will be most of the time anyhow.. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 EE Basicley the 66 and the 73 are the same action , Biggest differance is the side plates as you noted . The 73 also has a stronger bbl to action juncture . It is easier to remove and install the side plates on a 73 , you do not have to remove the leaver screw to get the plates off . Tune up and install of short stroke kits are the same process and patrs . The loading gate is also stronger on a 73 than a 66 . To me it is easier to manatin a 73 but I have a couple of 66s , I could not find a 73 when I got them . See ya down the trail Chickasaw Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we got 47+ in. on da ground wif 2 more months of winter to come !!!! AAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh................................ Yeah........ We get 6 inches then melting, then flooding, then more snow. But I sure wouldn't want 47 inches on the ground at once!

Is there a site to get specs and diagrams on the work? I'd like to go with a '66, but thought it would be much harder to do an action job. I've never been into one before, but I'm certainly not afraid to try anything once! ~EE Taft~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EE Taft Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 Well, I've made my decision on the rifle........ Ol' Phil Rezac made me a deal I couldn't pass up on a '73 w/24" BBL in .45lc............ I'll have to wait on the '66 fer now..........maybe get one later on in the summer........... Ahhhhhh.......summer! It sure would be nice if it would get here! ~EE Taft~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
