Hi there, I recently purchased a DW .357 porkchop mod 15. Yesterday I decided to dismantle and clean all parts, and noticed that the shroud didn't come off the barrel without the help of my plastic hammer. I noticed the barrel is bulged 1" from the start (cylinder side). I 'm looking for a replacement barrel, 6" version, but here in Belgium (Europe) I can't find any. I mailed CZ-USA, no reply yet. And Eric from EWK Arms doesn't ship outside US... Pitty, I 'd trust his barrels more than the others. Can anyone come up with some help, please? Best regards, Koen

Can you not find a shop in the US that does international exports?  That's what I did when I bought items from EWK to get them up to Canada.  Company I used was Aztech Armory in Arizona.

Try contacting Dan Wesson directly in New York.  Being owned by CZ, they should be able to ship a part out of the US. 

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Did you get this solved ? One solution would be to get in touch with Gibraltar Arms ( https://www.gibraltar-arms.com/ ) which can help exporting weapon parts ( oh, and weapons as well ) out of the us and over to us dweebs in europe for a modest fee. 5-15% if I recall correctly.

Koen, I am afraid there is another problem. Porkchop barrels are 1/4" shorter than the 11 and 12 or the 14-2 and 15-2. They eliminated the exterior nut and just made the barrels 53/4". They occasionally show up on Ebay but you would have the shipping problem. You could have a 6" barrel shortened and rethreaded, or perhaps put a second nut on the end. Have you tried shooting it with the bulge? It may not affect performance. My wife says I am a glass half full guy.

Don't fall for that one, my friend. The glass is always full ... half with liquid, half with air.
