Okay here is the story on this gun...
My Dad was a LT for WVC PD and was also the firearms instructor for the department and was also taking some smithing/engraving classes.
One day he was walking out to his cruiser one day and sees a box with a revolver that was taken a part in the dumpster. So after fishing the box and talking to the cheif about the gun the cheif stated that if he wanted it he could buy it for $50 dollars! So when my dad got home he was able to put it back togather. It has sat in a old sock in his closet ever since! My dad was going to do some engraving on but has never gotten around to it.
I amhoping to get it and make it into my varmit gun. I dont know much about I know that it has the interchangable barrels. Not sure what model hopefully I can get some pics tommrrow.

We love resurrecting old Dan's. Bring on the questions, we have answers (some of them are even GOOD answers)
BTW- That's not just an old Dan Wesson you have, it's the "seedling" of a Pistol Pack, and then it really gets out of control
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Cool story & yes, definitely show us some pics, we love these "what is this gun" questions!
We could probably do it without pics, but that will take at least 25 more posts on your part...not that it's necessarily a bad thing.

Cool story. A $50.oo gun is great.

My plan is to add a scope mount (any suggestions?) and a scope and a pachmeyer grip….I was thinking of putting a .22 cal barrel and cylinder in it but not sure now..

I think you may run into a snag regarding the firing pin...the whole rimfire/centerfire thing. However, I'm mostly speculating because I haven't had the pleasure yet to compare the two types side by side. It might just be a simple thing like changing the firing pin.
That's a good looking Model 15-2, for the money!

Unless you get a smith to turn you a custom barrel it won't work. The 22 and 357 frames take different size barrel threads. I'm going to attempt it someday with a porkchop, but I need to find a cheap cylinder first.

Easiest choice for scope mount is the B Square mount like this
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=142827051
It clamps on, holds very securely, but adds a fair amount of weight/bulk, and pushes the scope fairly high above the bore axis. You can also drill and tap the shroud for rings
