Back when Bob was running DW I emailed him and asked about non standard barrels. IIRC they would do them for the cost of the next longer barrel plus a fee. Does anyone have any that were ordered that way?
If so, I would love to see a picture.

I don't at least that I know of. Our own EWK maybe able to make what you are looking for!

I had a 5" Barrel--sold it to someone here on the forum. I'll see if I still have a pic.

Didn't some of the fixed Palmers make it out with 5 inch barrels?
this might be one (not sure if it is fixed or not, I don't the the experience to tell, I'm just basing my guesses on some related discussions):

That sure looks like a fixed barrel.

Yip that's a fixed barrel 5 I think! With Pach Grippers (those maybe worth 50 or more)!

Here is a pic of a custom 5 inch from GB a few years back. Looks like a FB model but is actually not.

LB, that's very interesting. Is there a shot of the muzzle end of that?

Sure, here is what I have.
At first I thought someone had disassembled a fixed barrel until I emailed the seller and he sent these pics and told me he had ordered it this way. Unfortunatley I have no more info.

How about the frame end...If there is no hole for the alignment pin, I'd bet it was removed from a fixed barrel.

That is what I thought until the seller told me he special ordered it. And you can also see the recess for the barrel nut.

Another grail to look for.
I always thought that they should offer a mini pack for us working folks, frame, one set of grips and three and five inch barrel assemblies. Kind of a minimalist do it all gun, short enough to carry, long enough to hunt with. That way you get the customer changing barrels for a minimal investment and maybe they would go ahead and buy some more BAs.

The 741 on top has a factory V5 barrel assembly and this is a Norwich gun as you can see from the laser etching.

LB, I must say that your pics are the first I've seen of a 15-2 FB style shroud with a removable barrel nut. That's pretty neat, and thanks for posting the rest. Although now this poses the question...I wonder how many of those have been made?
I can't imagine there were many. I'd be more inclined to think that those were made as a special order item, to keep a few uneducated (or misinformed) DW FB buyers from making a big stink about their DW barrels not being able to be unscrewed, like their buddy's Pistol Pac guns were. Just a WAG over here...

Hi polish I guess! Wow! I can almost read the wording on the camera reflection. Wow.
