H Hawg New member Apr 9, 2016 #6 It's good for .22 revolver frames and .22 rifle receivers too. I've never wore one out.
P peggysue Moderator Apr 10, 2016 #7 Agree with Hawg.. cast metal parts are a manufacturing standards now days.
H Hawg New member Apr 10, 2016 #8 Honestly, and I know I'm going to take some flak for this but I'd rather have an RG 66 than a Ruger Single Six.

H Hawg New member Apr 10, 2016 #10 I'll take the Rugers. Click to expand... Rugers are good guns. I had a Single Six but I despise the way their action works OTOH I've had five RG 66's and they always seem to get away from me. I bought my first one new in 76 or 77 for about 50 bucks. My first wife still has it.
