Not sure of any non First Issue Norwich but it wouldn't surprise me.

I have a Palmer model 40. I also have an extra 8” shroud that I ordered from Norwich that says 357 SuperMag on it. Does that help you?

I believe all the .357 SuperMags out there that I have seen are Monson made.   Were there any "Wesson Firearms Co" Palmers made?    Any Non-First Edition Norwich?

Pics please.

There are essentially 2 kinds of foam.

Open cell: The soft squishy stuff. Feels (& acts like) a wash sponge.

Closed cell: the firmer not so gushy stuff ( like in sleeping pads or yoga mats.)

NEVER EVER even for a short time (like overnight or coming back from the range) store them in the open cell its a moisture trap of the worst kind.

Any GOOD gun wrap or case will have closed cell, if it doesn't refuse it.

Personally I use old, worn out T-shirts, cut to size & liberally oiled as a wrap.

Its worked on everything from B/P revolvers to rifles, S/S & Damascus knives to guns without worry.

Lots of great advice in here, but I really like this!

My ivories I baby oil then cover in a regular plastic bag inside the Zerust bag. No problems but just

precautionary as I don't want any unforeseen problem.

Anything made for automobiles is better than that sold for guns. Heat, moisture, sun, friction is magnitudes higher for cars. Dextron ATF and Mobile 30 wt oil is better than Rem oil, etc. After Flitz on the outside and Dextron on the inside I dry the oil off the outside and wax the guns.

 Silicon coated gun sock is great, and the corrosion resistant paper first is even better. Then put it in the case. 

 Folks in the hot humid south keep the AC on 24//7 unless it is winter. Then the heat is on. Either way, never keep the doors or windows open for long. Without AC/heat, steel will rust very quickly in the south, especially Florida. Folks up north like to open windows and use screen doors in the spring and fall. If you do that you should use a dehumidifier. Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, etc have the least worries. I love buying guns from Arizona. When I ran out of space I stopped polishing and waxing. Now I have about a years worth of polishing to do.

I keep all of mine outside the case in a wooden pistol rack inside my gun safes.  All get a good coating of Ballistol to prevent rust.  I have quart sized silica canister in the safe too.

Recommend sizes for Small and Large Frame that fits inside the factory pac?    Should wood grips be removed?
