Dan Wesson Service and Parts Availability?

[TargetTerror]

A local shop has an excellent deal on a used Dan Wesson 44 revolver. I'm strongly considering buying it. What is the deal regarding service if the gun should break? Does the current Dan Wesson, owned by CZ, service older Dan Wesson guns? Anyone have any experience with them? And does anyone know if there are old "lifetime" warranties that are still honored (I would imagine not, but it never hurts to check).

Also, what about parts availability? Specifically, is there a place that sources the barrel nut tool and cylinder gap measuring tool? I doubt that those are for sale with the revolver I'm looking at. And does anyone make different length barrels for the Dan Wessons anymore, or is it just a used market at this point?

The folks at CZ have parts and tools for just about all models. They can also make barrels and shrouds for any model.

Vicious, that's exactly what I wanted to hear. Do you have any idea how much a new barrel goes for?

cylinder gap measuring tool?

I see no reason why a common automotive feeler gage should not work for this.
