I picked this up this morning from GB on a buy it now. It's an old model Single Six in 41 Special. It appears to be an early build of John's. I only know of one other 41 special in a single six. Curtis I’m curious to know what diameter that cylinder is.

It will be after Thanksgiving before I pick it up. I’m sure Tim would be glad to share his now.

I did, however, drop my Starrett calipers from about 3 feet onto a rug in the vault while I was setting the 41 back down. Better the calipers than the 41! Dug out my son’s old Lyman calipers and they checked out ok. The Starrett skips and jumps now. Some of you machinist guys, what do I do now? Is there a place to send them for fixin’ or can a guy take them apart and figure it out?

Nope they are toast, better send me the 41 S since it caused the problem. Who knows WHAT will happen next time you get it out of the safe!😆

But once something like that is dropped, I just replace it. I make a living with my measuring tools and would like to know that they are as accurate as possible.

I knew Mr. Taffin had one but couldn't seem to remember. I think there may be one more as I believe Bart posted that there were 4 in existence, all by Gallagher. That was several years ago.
All of this may be wrong, as my memory isn't what it was.............

THAT was a great grab....
...what I can never understand is why anyone puts something out like that with a BuyNow on it...
Have a great time with it...Bob
