Hey guys. I just picked up my first pair of DWs, a set of late 70s 15-2s for $150 with 2, 6, and 12 inch barrels, feeler gauge, shoulder and waist holsters. I wasn't in the market but I just couldn't pass it up! Right now, one is a more-or-less permanent 12" due to a mangled barrel nut, but I'll get it sorted out soon. After having shot a few autoloaders, I had to pick my jaw up off the floor when I put 6 rounds through the same hole. Looks like I ought to pay a little more attention to wheelguns! Alright guys, here're a couple quick and dirty pics. I'm looking forward to learning more about them and getting them all cleaned up.

Needless to say if that number was not a typo you certainly got a deal!  That qualifies for the gtdw of the year award.

Well guys, it looks like I'm sending them off to DW for a little upkeep. My local smith wasn't able to get the 12" off and the other, while it works, is a bit sloppy and the cylinder rubs on the frame when it's open. I still figure it was a good deal but it'll be even better to have them back in a few months with a clean bill of health! Regardless, I plan on hanging around...you can't get rid of me that easily!

Ok, judging from your serials posts, one is a 78 and the other is an 81, with 1xxxxx and 3xxxxx serials, respectively.

As everyone has said. great deal.  Have you tried the tutorial on removing stuck barrel assemblies?  Might be worth a go.

I did, but I couldn't get the double nut tight enough inside the frame without messing up the blue so I gave up.
