Hello all. Just did a little horse trading and got a DW 357 with 2 1/2" bbl. I bought a new one with 4" bbl back in the 70s and loved it. I'm going to try and do a little work on this one and give t to my wife for her home defense gun. I'm AMAZED at how expensive parts or accessories have become! I need a barrel nut wrench and I'm looking at $75 - $120 for one. WoW! Does anyone have an alternative to the DW wrench? Also, this gun has a 293XXX serial #. Is there a chart or page with numbers available to find mfg. date ?Â Thanks for any info and thanks for letting me be a part of it..

Welcome, EWK has wrenches that are super. Look to the right of the page for a link to his site.

Welcome to DWF, thanks for visiting New Members first. 293xxx is a 1980 gun. Your best bet for a barrel wrench is from EWK Arms. If you can't find one of his, a Dan Wesson all steel (no plastic) one is a good second choice.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
