I have the opportunity to buy a stainless 15-2 with a 10", 8", and 6" barrel. The barrels are all of the heavy vented variety. The revolver looks to have a pretty nice set of grips on it as well. The asking price is $675.

 

My dilema is that I already have a 357 pistol pac in blue and I don't really need another 357, but this one is stainless and has a 10" barrel.

 

Thoughts?

If your like me, if you don't snatch that up, you'll regret it. It's a good price, don't forget to post pics.

This is the picture of the set that was sent to me. Not the best quality, but the guy is within 45 minutes of me so I can go take a look without too much trouble.

45 minutes west or east???  Let me know if you don't pick that up; may have to make a road trip!

In other words, if you can, you should...buy-now

Good evening

Tell you what..  Go buy it... If you decide you do not want it I will pay for your gas and buy the DW from you.  These opportunities do not fall like rain.

Well this place here is getting set to run some 15" barrel/shroud assemblies in about a month. Now they are NOT genuine Dan Wesson, and that seems to be an extremely good price for one with 3 barrel/shroud assemblies including a 10' one. But It's up to you.

P.S he was also selling all four standard length barrel assemblies, 2.5", 4", 6", and 8", but like everybody else selling gun stuff, all out of stock. Too bad since he was only charging $135-$165 each depending on size.  He has the 10' barrel in stock, just not the shroud. Here is an email he sent to me.....

Thanks for getting in touch, and sorry for the delay in getting back with you! Currently I am coming out with the longer shrouds. I am shooting to have available some 15" barrel assemblies in about a month. I got you down on the list to let you know when available. Thanks again!

Tell you what, send me the address and I'll meet you there. That way you can have an unbiased 3rd party evalualte the deal. Or, I'll just drive over without you and then send you my observations in a snail mail..... Hey, I'm just that kind of selfless wonderful guy big-grin (no comments Steve!)

Ok, everyone can quit stressing. I went out and picked it up tonight. There are a few scuffs here and there, but everything else checks out. I'll get some better pictures for you later, but take a look.

Nice looking set... a little work with a scotch-brite pad will have the 10" assembly looking good.

You should absolutely send that to me for restoration! I promise to get it back to you in ten or fifteen years. big-grin  No I don't do restorations but it sounded good anyway. Great snag. smile

I'll be stopping by the local auto parts store to pick up some polish on the way home. I'll give it a go on the 6" shroud for some practice.
