First Post! I just traded a Taurus Judge for this DW yesterday evening and I'm excited about it. I can't wait to take it out and shoot it. It came with a 100 rd mixture of .357 mag and .38 sp +P ammo and a soft case. Nothing else though... I'm going to be ordering a couple of barrels soon and of coarse the tool. I have my own feeler gauge. I believe my gun is a model 14-2 since it doesn't have adj sights and does not have the pork chop shroud. My only question is: I found an original Burris made scope mount on eBay and I want to know if it will fit my gun? Thanks in advanced!

If it is the one I been watching it is for the Dan but it is also, drill and tap.

Thanks. My gun does not have the vent rib shroud. So I will most likely have to have it drilled and tapped. Unless i buy a vent rib shrouded barrel for it I can't see why that particular mount would not fit my 14-2. I guess my question would be is there any difference in the frame for mounting a scope using a drill and tap mount on a 15-2 WITH the vent rib shroud vs a 14-2 without a vent rib shroud. Sorry if this is confusing...

I dont think that would be an issue. I am sure some of these guys who've mounted scopes will chime in soon. In the mean time you gotta post some pics for us. We all have a sickness here and we love lookin at Dans almost as much as we love holding 'em when they go bang..lol

My problem right now is I'm using my iPhone to post here. So I cannot figure out how to post pics until I get back on a computer.

The frame is the same on a 14-2 and a 15-2 except for the fixed rear sight on the 14-2. I am always loath to drill and tap a shroud but it is perhaps a better way on the large frame and supermags. One option is a RH shroud and rail adapter from EWK. I used that to scope a 15-2 and I can put it on any of my small frame guns If I want to shoot with a scope. If you are going to drill and tap you do not need a vent- rib shroud although it would be slightly lighter than a standard shroud. There is a scope thread under gunsmithing I believe that will help.

Thanks guys! I got a very nice standard 6" barrel off eBay that is in better shape than the 4" that came with the gun! It came in today along with a EWK barrel tool. I can't wait to shoot it with the new barrel. I will post a pic in the morning.
