Canada's first 4.3" Dan Wesson Revolver?

[Darkwater]

Years ago, I bought a Dan Wesson model 15 .22 with a 8" barrel - it is a beautiful, well made gun. However, I found the 8" barrel to be a bit long for my taste, but as the user interchangeable barrel system is nothing short of genius, I figured it would be easy to refit it for a shorter barrel. 6" barrels and shrouds were available, but nothing caught my eye more than the 4" prohibited variety. To beat the barrel length restriction, I'd always dreamed of having a custom made 4.2" Barrel - which finally came to fruition last week, when a small parcel arrived at my door. Thanks to EWK Arms and Prophet River, My Monson now sports a custom EWK Arms VH series 111mm barrel - and I'm VERY impressed. What do you guys think?

I really like it, I've thought of having it done to my 6" barrel, and keeping my 8" for the giggle factor.

Can you pm me on what it cost you so I have a ball park?

There was a prohibited one on the ee that I was hoping to buy and do this with, but I couldn't find anyone with a 12-6 that would help me out. I had also heard of backing out the barrel to get it reregistered as restricted. Looks very nice.

It was $179 us for the barrel and shroud, plus shipping and import fees. Less than 300 to my door. This would be the easiest revolver ever to have reclassified as restricted - but I guess once that was accomplished, the prohibited barrel would become a prohibited device, and would have to be destroyed immediately... A one way conversion, and a shame.

Ha, damn, that's what I paid for the whole kit

looks slick!

That is Very Nice indeed! However my own 8inch DW will stay that way. Only because it has close company with a 6inch Anaconda and a 5inch 629.

PS: BTW, your 4.3inch DW reminds me very much of Jim Cirillo's 4inch DW in 41 Magnum that he had specifically for police work.

i just sold one on the EE that was a 4 inch barrel but must have been just over as it was a restricted class

I had hoped that the 4" barrels were slightly more than 105mm, so I had a seller run a factory 4" barrel with a caliper. Exactly 4", and totally prohib not sure what the story was with yours...

Love it! It has me intrigued to say the least! Some of us talk, but others actually do...I see you are a "get 'er done" kind of guy. Cool.

A very nice piece congrats

Very nice, i have a 6" and 10" for my DW. The 10" is very accurate at 100 yards but a little long to carry.

 

[Magellann]

Thats a beauty, I like it.

 

[mt666tm]

A thing of beauty indeed. Well done!

Beautiful looking wheelgun. Jealous.

Get a six inch barrel and a four inch shroud. Cut, thread and face the muzzle of the barrel. I agree, this is a easy conversion, though only necessitated by our retarded laws. - dan
