The *only* 13 I remember seeing in a shop was a 3", and they wanted $499. It left with me. I was in a wee spot of trouble with my bride when I got home.
From a friend of mine, who is a serious Pats fan:
HELP REQUESTED PLEASE!!
A friend of mine has two tickets for Super Bowl 51. The tickets are box seats, plus airfare and hotel accommodations. She didn't realize when she bought them that the game is the same day as her wedding - so she can't go.
If you're interested and want to go instead of her, it's at St. Peter's Church in Boston at 5 PM. His name is Sean. He'll be the one in a tux.
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
I wasn't in *that* much trouble!
As a fellow Pats fan I would have easily missed my own wedding to attend The Greatest Superbowl Of All Time. I'd miss it 1000 times over.
The solution of course is to marry Rob Gronkowski.
This should make the people who got the J&G deal feel even better about the money they spent.

It do!

I got mine today. Fortunately for me, I don't get teary very easily. Or I'd want to.
At first glance, it looked OK, other than square-butt Pachs on a round-butt gun:
But it seems that the barrel is canted:
Then there was this chunk out of it:
And this chunk missing out of the retention lip for the yoke:
If I do it just right, the yoke will move forward with the cylinder open.
The sad thing is that the timing and lockup are excellent.
I don't know how big a job is it to replace the yoke. (Numrich has them for $61.) Or getting the barrel back in line. So it could be really easy to sink a lot more into this gun.
On the other hand, it's pretty unlikely that I'll find another Model 65.
Decisions, decisions.
Well, I have 30 days to mull it over as to what I'm going to do.

It looks like some ignorant person used a punch to drive the yoke out, dinging the frame and breaking that flange on its axis. Being the jump in and try it type, Id take the yoke to a welding shop and see if they can built it back up with stainless wire weld. The stainless stuff Ive had done on guns was easy to work back down and finish. A different yoke may not fit the front of your frame, I believe they are polished on each gun, but that isn't that hard to file and sand down and refinish in stainless if the mismatched parts bother you. Id also have that ching on the frame welded up and file back down. The extractor rods are about $12 or $15 I think, if the scarred knurling is annoying. I found it doesn't bother me that much after forgetting about it.I got mine today. Fortunately for me, I don't get teary very easily. Or I'd want to.

Being a non-pinned barrel, its probably pretty tight and likely requires blocks to turn the barrel without hurting the frame. It may shoot OK, if so, moving it will change POI. Id guess its off though. I know someone with the frame blocks that I can use for that type thing, but that doesnt help you. The blocks aren't very expensive though, I made the other tools needed. If you were closer Id help you.

If you have 30 days to return it, I'd send it back. Not a bargain at $500.
What are the chances it got dropped with the cylinder open, hitting the back of the cylinder, and someone just replaced the cylinder without correcting the damage to the frame and yoke? Does the center pin line up correctly with the bolt plunger pin hole?
