I finally received my EWK 106mm barrel with a custom bushing/nut to go with my original DW 4" shroud. About 20 years ago, gun laws in Canada changed and prohibited gun barrels less than 105mm, so many of the old classics can no longer be bought up; this is the reason that all new revolvers from major manufacturers in North America are sold with 4.2" barrels. Canadian owners that were in possession of those 4" or shorter barreled guns were grandfathered to continue owning those prohibited firearms, but newer licenced owners cannot - like me.
A while ago I bought a 15-2 that was a pistol pack, but the seller could not legally sell me the 2" and 4" barrel (but I have the shrouds). After a couple emails, months of waiting for Eric at EWK to have a little spare time, he finally agreed to make me a custom 106mm barrel for my 4" shroud. I also bought a few EWK parts kits, EWK barrel tools, and ordered a few cylinder stops from DW directly, then had all of that shipped to a legal exporter and then waited months for everything to arrive. I still need to press the cylinder stop in properly and then get this out to the range.
Thank you Eric!

You may start a trend. Very handsome. The Wessons sell the 12 sided exterior nuts.

Yeah, I thought about the exterior nut, I do have the original tool for it kept tucked away. However, for going to the range and being able to swap barrels easier, this regular styled nut will be best.
