I recently picked up a Monson 15 in .357 and absolutely love it.  It came with 2 grips, 2.5" and 6" barrel.  I just added an EWK 6" slab to the collection.  I'm planning on working up loads for deer hunting.  Any suggestions on how to mount a scope or red dot on the EWK barrel?  Could I have the shroud milled to accept scope rings or have a rail mounted?  My eyes aren't quite what they used to be and I've gotten used to red dots and scopes shooting bullseye.  Looking forward to no more snow so I can get outside with the .357 rather than .38 indoors!

Welcome, and great job opening with a cool picture.  Someone on here has a rail mounted on their EWK but I just don't remember who.  Someone who does remember will be along soon though.

kgs I sure like the look of that slab side barrel.  Definitely my favorite.  I have a couple revolvers with similar barrels and really find them aesthetically pleasing (S&W 625 V Comp and Rossi Cyclops).

 

Congrats on your new revolver and good luck on the EWK's sight base!

kgs, congratulations on your new Dan, thats a good looking combo! On the matter of a scope base, I have one of Eric's 8" BA's, and his recommendation was to use a Weaver 410 rail.  The radius is the same as that on the BA. Eric d&t the shroud for this base,with the base extending forward over the shroud. I found that with my eyes, I needed the scope closer so I turned the base to extend back over the frame. I had to remove a little metal from the base to clear the frame, but it was easy and I think worked out great.

 Hope this info helps, and good luck and enjoy your Dan!
