Pete, the 1 pictured is actually mine. I never ever received it to operate over a 744. The size of the best rib were just way too different through the 715 shroud it is mounted on presently.

I utilized a model 715 in this example, Hence the piece is cast in the aspect plate in the pic. I've viewed several earlier model fifteen-two's in which the cease is usually a pressed partially which has fallen out, and gotten shed.

Because of the Dan Wesson interchangeable barrel technique, once the guns ended up bought, the barrel size and type was ordinarily A part of the model designation. Definitely This may change In case the user changed the barrel, however it is continue to an interesting Component of the Dan Wesson equation.

A dated brochure is really not a very good resource. It might have been added to your pack afterward. And It's not necessarily an accurate date for guns made a few years afterwards. Sales receipt, testimony of unique customer, correspondence in the manufacturing facility, and so on are more trustworthy.

When Bob Serva purchased the Dan Wesson enterprise and moved it to Norwich NY, he retooled the shop with all new CNC machines and the main guns he created ended up marked “Initially issue” they went back to labeling the model 15 and 715 dropping the -2.

I went to the bookstore and questioned the saleswoman "Had been is definitely the Self Support Portion?" She claimed if she told me, it could defeat the objective.

Yeah, sorry, our serial selection registry is really an absolute mess right this moment. The very first 12 months of creation was 1970, so The 2 or a few inside the checklist that declare for being prior to that day is hogwash.

I would certainly advise 1 of those guns to any person presently within the "decision fence", for a nice Total shooter.

If you could find a single, and if you have somewhat more dollars…. The Burris rib clamp is a very good mount with an attractive finish. Accessible in silver and blue. This mount is additionally rock reliable and somewhat better wanting compared to B-square.

Under the foam I found a price record from 1978, the colored tri-fold sales flyer Along with the offerings from Dan Wesson, the instruction booklet and authentic lifetime warranty card. It appears this was produced in 1978 or later on from what I found under the foam. The only thing missing was the feeler gauge and the belt buckle.

one). Regular barrels obtaining the good rib without the heavy underlug ended up usually selected with the barrel duration by itself.

Ok, the time has arrive at doc all the scope mount options available for DW house owners. I am going to try out to offer as mucinfo as I have for every one. Some of these mounts are actually from manufacturing for various many years, so Really don't expect to find them anytime quickly.

I haven't got a diagram of a porker handy dan wesson but a google lookup will most likely obtain a person. If you do not have the part, perhaps somebody here provides a spare.

And then there are actually mounts I am unable to recognize… They're rib clamps similiar to the Leupolds. Millett also created mounts similiar.
