So about a month ago I inquired to Genny about any 445 Barrel assemblies left. She told me no but the next week messaged me and said she found some 445's in bad shape. Told be they would need re-bluing and the 8 inch she only had a stainless barrel but I was in. With the barrels running out as they sell out their not going to be any left soon. Genny got the four barrels together (10VH thru 4VH) and got them fe=done where needed so a big thanks to her!IMG_7629.JPGImage Enlarger

I have been told that this is pretty much it for the Dan Wesson parts. Maybe we should start a letter writing campaign to CZ to bring back Dan Wesson Revolvers or at least keep the barrels and parts going! Of course I don't mean an actual letter but email, comment on sites ect though sending actual letters may get more of a reaction. Anyway I got all four barrels in today and very happy I can make a 445 pac with 10VH thru 4VH I know there were not stock so to speak though I believe someone could have ordered one!I can now boast a 445 Supermag pac with 10VH thru 4VH and a 740 Supermag same setup! I would think about buying anything you might think you need now from CZ the only 10VH barrels they now have left are the blue 44 magnums. Yea I know they are CZ barrels but this is it! Also there brand new so quality is there!

Thanks for the topic and sharing this information.  It is very sad, but also part of a business model that has dried up for them.  It definitely makes what is out there more valuable, at least for awhile until all of us age out of our collections.  I never did a blued pack like you did, probably should have.

Are the barrels actually different than the standard 44 magnum barrels?

Longer ejector slot on the shroud

Barrels are not shrouds. Barrel assemblies are barrels and shrouds (also barrel nut).

Is the barrel thread pitch on the .44 the same as a .445 ?

Yes, the barrel is 44 caliber and the same for 44 mag and 445 Supermag. The shroud of a Supermag has a longer ejector rod slot to accommodate the longer rod for the longer cylinder. A 445 shroud will work on a 44 Mag but a 44 shroud will not fit a 445 unless a shorter 44 mag ejector rod is used.

Thanks, that’s what I suspected but it’s good info in the event a shroud becomes available separate from the barrel.

Look on the Gunsmithing page, I put a sticky up with the various barrel tube diameters and thread pitches

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.
