Howdy there. Just purchased another wheelgun and this one happens to be a Dan Wesson 357 CTG. It was a used one, so it only came with the barrel that was on it. I was directed to this site for a tutorial on its takedown and reassembly, but I can't seem to find it.

Welcome to the forum, I think this is the link you are looking for. I just finished going thruogh one of my own Dans for the first time, using this post. It is very good and easy to follow.

Welcome to the DWF.

 

You're going to need a barrel wrench and a gap gauge.  These are available from member EWK Arms (see link in right-hand column), or you can find them on both eBay and Gunbroker should you choose to go that route.

 

Hope you enjoy your new toy and don't forget to post some pics.  We live for pics here.

Welcome to the Forum. Since this is "another wheelgun", what else you got?

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.
