When I was in High school those 66's were everywhere and they were cheap. I only live 45 min from Ithaca NY so it stands to reason that's why. My wife has one in .410 gauge with a vent rib barrel that belonged to her Dad. I knew fellas in NY that wouldn't trade their 66 Buckbuster for love nor money because they did throw a slug well and weighed next to nothing to carry for the day. That said, I was at a small local gun show on Sunday and saw some 66's in various states of condition and was amazed at the prices they're bringing nowadays. Hopefully you'll be able to find a clean replacement barrel for a reasonable price. Congrats on the exemplary work you've done so far resurrecting that old gal from the dead!
