I found a 15 inch DW barrel/shroud at a gun show in Atlanta Ga.  I bought a few small reloading items too. Here are a couple pics of my new barrel/shroud. It reminds me of Wyatt Earp's  six shooter. 

A little Western history that may be a fabrication:  "Wyatt Earp and Colt's so-called "Buntline Special" revolvers. Legend describes Earp's gun as sporting a 12-inch barrel and shoulder stock attachment. Garish accounts then have him using this extra length barrel to subdue a host of hardcases in both Dodge City and Tombstone." http://www.kshs.org/p/kansas-historical-quarterly-wyatt-earp-and-the-buntline-special-myth/13255  smile

Wisdom is merely the realization of how little one knows, therefore I am wise.

That's gorgeous and appears to be pristine as well.  I wish we had gun shows around here that displayed something other than trash.

That'll feed the dwas for a while.

Nice pics!  You need to submit that beauty on next year's calendar contest.  That is quite a find at a gun show.  Most shows around here are lucky to have a Dan at all and then it is usually some beat up piece in need of a friend.
