Pete, the just one pictured is actually mine. I hardly ever acquired it to work on a 744. The scale of the highest rib ended up just as well various through the 715 shroud it really is mounted on presently.

Yeah, sorry, our serial amount registry is surely an absolute mess at the moment. The 1st calendar year of output was 1970, so the two or 3 in the list that declare for being previous to that date is hogwash.

When you examine images of 15-2's in excess of time, you may begin to see a special cylinder prevent layout that is definitely less sharp edged, far better supported, less likely to break faraway from the aspect plate. This is extremely obvious on 715's, much like the photo offered.

Regarding the 1973 & 1974 dates. To this point, I sense These are additional synonymous than different. But as usually with DW info, I hope a lot more proof comes alongside in the future to establish this.

Is there any authentic variance in high-quality involving revolvers created when the organization was in Monson and when it moved to Palmer.

I went to your bookstore and requested the saleswoman "Had been may be the Self Help Portion?" She explained if she informed me, it would defeat the purpose.

Yeah, sorry, our serial quantity registry is really an absolute mess at this time. The initial calendar year of generation was 1970, so The 2 or three during the checklist that declare to be before that date is hogwash.

And early Dan Wesson revolvers Possess a cylinder capture bump-quit pressed in the facet plate. This bump from the aspect plate, retains the cylinder from slipping off whilst It is really open.

Palmer was up and operating earning all the big and supermag guns prior to closing Monson. Evenarge frames dan wesson tactical operator marked Monson were being ,we now know, in fact produced within the Palmer plant.

Bushnell produced a lot of mounts back again within the 1970's and early eighties. This a single also replaces the rear sight and needs drilling/tapping the top strap. Stable aluminum and very light-weight.

DW did and, and should have, a service component named "cylinder cease" which can be press match and adhered into the sideplate to replace broken sideplates that have missing the cylinder stop purpose.

Employing this serial amount registry thru the entire process of elimination aided me slender down my manufacture date to 1980. Glad to get element of this Discussion board. -Mike

Almost nothing so as to add and Thank you! I'll getout many of the information I've picked and find out in which I would be capable to add. Some how essential postings as this a single must pinned to be able to see often! Share on Twitter

I have Reps from every one of the factories and I am able to say that they're all high-quality guns. The Palmer bluing appears to be slightly deeper and glossy compared to the Norwich guns I've.
