Hi All! I've been a lurker here for a while now, and decided to finally join up after I got my 3rd DW (this one)... I got this from the Cabela's gun library after I lost out on a NIB 445 with 6" & 8" a couple weeks ago. That gun went for $1971, I stopped at $1955. Admittedly, a NIB (unfired) 445 would be worth a lot, but I'm kinda glad I lost the auction. I bought this gun for $1065, and there's a reason for that, but it's not major.
Here's a couple photos of her....
So some guy who owned this gun previously had put a scope on there, and it looks like he had his drunk uncle Cleetus do the D&T. The top of the frame and the top of the barrel sleeve are still goo'd up with bedding compound. My plan is to have a good gunsmith I know plug the holes, refinish, and re-blue. Sure wish I didn't have to do this but it's worth saving a fine firearm like this.
Thanks for having a look!
Blessed is he, whom when confronted with death, thinks only of his front sight...

That's a shame. They sure chewed that baby up. I'll be interested to see her when you finish the rehab.

if you find one...what's your plan?

Well even Bubba-upped guns can shoot well.
At that price you can get it a new barrel shroud somewhere down the road.

I'm looking forward to see it all fixed up. Now go and shoot it a ton. 😉
