Hello Everyone!

I was fortunate enough to inherited my grandfathers gun collection, one of which happened to be a DW 357. Honestly I can't explain what it is but the damn thing feels different from other revolvers -- it just seems....right.

I am not sure but I think he won in in a game of poker, anyway there are a few items missing that I would like to complete this set.

1) A good source to pick up additional barrels (I have the 8" & 6" but would like the 4")

2) I have the barrel tool but I am missing the gauge

3) The push pin used to expel spent cartridges

Any help in locating these items would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance

...Ryan

Welcome to the forum, Ryan. That's a pretty neat thing to inherit a family member's gun collection! Smile

 

Probably the best source for the pieces you're looking for is directly from DW. Contact info is on the right of this screen in the "FAQ's" area under "where can I order parts".

The barrels will probably be found cheaper by looking on Gun Broker, or some of the other online auction sites.

Welcome!

 

I find it odd that you would be missing a "push pin".. I picture would go along way. (plus we like pictures anyways)

Welcome dugdown25 to the forum.  That push pin is the ejector rod. It screws into the extractor, the part that pulls the shells out of the cylinder. I had to replace one that broke off at the threads and hope yours is just missing. If it broke off you may have to replace the extractor also which means sending it to DW-CZ in Norwich, NY as it has to be fitted to the frame (extractor), or a local gun smith could probably do it. Have you taken the gun apart to see what's up with it?

 

Looking forward to some Cool Pics.

I think many of us feel the same way here.  The other guys have answered your questions so I'll just say Welcome

Easy replacement for the gap gauge is (wait for it)

A set of automotive flat feeler gauges. All you need is an .006, but a whole set is pretty inexpensive.

Welcome to DWF, the friendliest site on the shooting web.

 

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.
