Who's doing the Cylinder for you?

Dan Wesson

Dan Wesson

I didn't know they were still in business.

 

[Joe S.]

CZ bought em out. They still work on em and there are talks about them producing revos again. They have been doing 1911s primarily last few years.

I also like unfluted. Here's something to hold you over.

 

[Joe S.]

Ahhhhh. Got my fix! I will check back to this thread from time to time until it gets home!

Thanks!

 

[Joe S.]

I am actually taking a couple design cues from that pistol. I am going to have the full underlug on mine tapered down similar to yours.

 

[Xd357]

Cool can't wait to see the pics when it gets back.

 

[Joe S.]

here are a couple ideas i have...

semi-bobbed hammer, trimmed underlug and slotted shroud.

also some top strap and trigger stippling, grooving, checkering (whatever it is called). lol


for a real pic of shroud slotting, here is a 445 that Dan Wesson put out. i gather most of their ultra, super, max caliber guns use this slotting. i think it is cool. one of the advantages to having the barrel separate of the shroud.

 

[Xd357]

Wow that's going to be alsome!

 

[Joe S.]

Gonna be a while too. Got another project to finish first. But I didn't want to miss out on the non fluted cylinder.

That's right! I forgot about that.

Now Joe once you get all this work done how long do you think you will actually keep the gone long enough to have a bond with it. Cause everytime I turn around your just like dad selling everything you have once you get it. hahahaha :lol4:

 

[Joe S.]

I only sell the stuff I don't really care for. This gun is why I got rid of my other DW44 (the green and black one). This one has a great finish, 2 barrels, tools, and case. This one is like my 1894 Marlin. Don't see it goin anywhere anytime soon.

 

[bonedust75]

I can understand I have a few like that haha. Send me pics when you get in the mail
