I won’t to say hello and am so glad I found this group! I am wanting to see if I can change barrels and a hand grip on my Dan Wesson .357? It says Dan Wesson arms Monson, Mass.357 B0022xx my barrel is 4” long and it says Dan Wesson arms 357 magnum Ctg on the barrel . I would like to get a 6” barrel for it and a different hand grip. The body is blues and the barrel is black. It does have adjustable rear sight. Trying to find out what model it is and if I can change barrels and what grips would work on it?

dwf-welcome to  dwf

From the S/N, your revolver could be a fixed barrel model 15-2FB. It was manufactured sometime after 1992. With most Dan's you can easily change the barrel and grip, but if you do have a FB, you can still change the grip. Can you post a pic of the muzzle ?

Check out FeePay and GunBroker for barrel assemblies and grips. There are two types of grips for Dan Wesson revolvers; small frame and large frame. Small frame (.22, .32, 38 & .357) grips have a square tang hole and large frame (.41, .44 & SuperMags) grips have a round tang hole. There are many varieties and styles available from the factory, as well as aftermarket such as; Hogue and Pachmyer.

Look at the muzzle end and see if you see a round recessed nut with two or four slots in it.   If you do, that is the barrel nut and you can remove the barrel and shroud and change barrels.  Ebay and Gunbroker are good places to find barrels.  BTW get an EWK wrench to make changing barrels easier.

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

If a man designed it, and a man built it, then a man can fix it.

from the looks yours is a 15-2 with 4"vrib. 15 is for a blue .357 mag. stainless steel would be 715 with the 7 denoteing stainless steel. the fixed barrels weren't made untill the Palmer era and had a different cut to the shroud. depending on your hand size there are many different dan wesson factory grips and hogue and packmyare make the rubber grips in different shapes to fit the small frame with the square hole. goodluckdwf-welcome
