Welome to the Forum.  Stick around and you'll pick up plenty of knowledge.  The first bit is that we love cool-pics, so post them up!

 

Best Regards,

Ron

Hi Drew, sorry it tookme so long to say HIwink. Here are my two favorite places to send people new to Dan Wessons

 

For a history lesson:

And to help you understand what is going on in there:

Congratulations on the Pistol Pack.

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.

Thanks for the links! Looks like maybe the previous owner already smoothed it up in there, most of the surfaces shown in the guide looked free of factory finish already. Anyway, paid a little more than I wanted, but I'm pretty happy so far. I think it's a 78 or 79 Monson (268###), 2,4,6, and 8 inch barrels w/ the vent rib shrouds. No patch or buckle though and a later large frame box, but original instructions and warranty card. A few light scratches on the side plate from the ejector, but all the barrels and shrouds are very nice. A set of Target (? I think, large, checkered, RH offset) and a set of Pachys. It could lock up tighter, but it shoots very well.
