Hey All,

Just inherited a gun collection and one is a Dan Wesson. Not real familiar with the brand.

Its a .357 Stainless, (1970s?) with some scoring and oxidation marks on the barrel and frame. The barrel seems loose and I cannot find any sort of model number!? It's supposedly convertible to a .44 Mag? Again..sorry but cannot see any sort of model #? Just 'Dan Wesson Arms .357 Magnum CTG'

Here's the serial #132905

Look forward to getting her cleaned & tightened up and out for a shoot.

Thanks..

Welcome to the forum! Sounds like you probably have a model 715 which is a stainless 357 Magnum. This gun is not convertible to a different caliber but you can change the barrels out. You can order a barrel wrench from EWK Arms which will allow you to set the barrel gap and tighten it up!

Jody is a man of few words, but he brought us the forum. Use it to learn about your new treasure. Stainless, then 80's, nickle then earlier. You can shoot .38 special too. Marks and corrosion can be polished out of a stainless gun. Welcome to the forum and your first dan.
