Taurus .357 Magnum Model 66 Stainless 6 inch 7 Shot Full Lug Heavy Barrel Smith & Wesson 686 L Frame type Factory Demo Near Mint in Box 357 Mag .38 Special 2660069

This listing is for the exact revolver in the photos; dealers, collectors, and departments, however, may take any extra, virtually identical Taurus 66 demos, that we have on hand, for the same per-gun price and no additional shipping charges. Here is the Brazilian Descendant to, and refinement of, the Smith & Wesson Distinguished Combat Magnum. This is the Taurus Model 66, product code # 2-660069. Its 7 round capacity was as much an influence on the parent Smith & Wesson as an effect from Smith. Manufacturer is Forjas Taurus of Porto Alegre, Brazil; importer is Taurus International of Miami. Construction is entirely stainless steel. Sights are classic Red Ramp front and adjustable White outline rear. More traditional than the 686, the Taurus's barrel lug has a nice smart bevel that brings its styling closer to the Smith & Wesson 66. Satin Stainless .385 Hammer and smooth combat trigger are both closer to classic 1970s S&W configuration, and the patented Taurus internal lock is the least conspicuous of its kind on any revolver. Weight empty is a superbly balanced 43 ounces. Grips are factory Taurus Combat grips, superior in fit, function, and recoil absorption to the Michaels grips that are standard issue on many S&Ws. Capacity is 7 rounds of .357 Remington Magnum or .38 Smith & Wesson Special ammunition interchangeably. This specimen is what we call a factory demo, most likely a sales rep’s sample that served as a showgirl in industry trade shows like the annual SHOT Show in Las Vegas. Box is marked, Factory Reconditioned. What that means is, Taurus will repair or service it if it ever develops any mechanical problems, but they will Not perform a freebie refinish. It does not need any refinish anyway. Surface detractions are minimal to negligible, really no more cylinder rotation marking than brand new specimens on display in gun shops. Bore, cylinder chambers, and mechanism are all bright and clean. It comes in its original box with two keys for its hammer lock, instruction manual, protective wrappers, and factory registration papers. It carries the famous Taurus Repair Warranty. Any ammunition or speedloaders showing in any of our photos is not included, it’s just there for math’s sake. With the Smith & Wessons commanding prices upwards of $800.00 apiece, this Taurus 66 Stainless 6 inch full lug 7 shot model 66 is an exceptional value at only $ 419.00. Not transferable to civilian residents of California, the District of Colombia, or Massachusetts. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> $15 lower 48; $40 AK, HI, PR, USPS Priority. 7 day money back on used items, but No Returns on NIB, Lay-away, or Ammo.
