My grandfather had a Dan Wesson revolver. It says 22LR on it, but there is no way this shoots a 22. It slides right through the barrel. Can anyone help me with this
To be clear, the barrel is not interchangeable between calibers, the shrouds are, as long as they are for the small frame Dan Wesson revolver. The barrels and frames are threaded differently for .22lr and .357 Mag to avoid inadvertently shooting the wrong caliber in a barrel.The barrel and shrouds are interchangeable on them. so if you have a .357 barrel that's 4inches and you don't have a shroud in .357 that's 4 inches and you happen to have one for a .22 you can use it on a .357 and it will work just fine. Pictures would help us tell you what it is.
Nope, there would be nothing for the Retaining Nut to screw onto to support the muzzle end of the shroudIs it possible to mount a shroud without a barrel?
The serial number would clinch it, but you will have to provide the number to Dan Wesson Arms and wait on their reply.What caliber does it look like it would be. Can I find out by the serial number
Yes, while the 9mm is very slightly smaller in diameter than a .357, the 9mm case is tapered and the case near the primer end is too large for chambering in a SAAMI-spec .357 or 38 special chamber.Is a 357 smaller in circumference than a 9mm. A 9mm will not fit all the way in
Over the years Wesson Arms had different versions of the barrel removal tool. On my 1975 gun it was two parts, a nut that partially entered the barrel at the muzzle) and had a hex nut that you engaged with the second part, a stamped flat steel socket/box wrench. Later guns were a single piece (probably because a few owners had fired the gun with the nut still in the muzzle).I have the feeler gauge and the tool, but the tool is stripped inside the plastic so it won't take the barrel off
