Some old gun I was just given as a gift, never fired, looks like the cylinder was rotated once or twice.





I know...

And it came with a belt buckle?! Sweet gift. Revolver with interchangeable barrels is pretty cool. Again a very nice gift.

One of the top tier companies in my opinion.

That's a tough question with them. Found some of the original documents behind the upper padding and the parts list has an April 1977 date. There is a kind of cult following among the early DW revolvers.

In their time the Dan Wesson Supermag revolvers were the best silhouette and long distance revolvers on the planet. Congrats...

Look at the frame. The monson made ones are worth more. The suspension barrels are more accurate than you wild believe. Gun and pieces aren't al that valuable but a set like that can get close to 2k.

Like everyone else has said. It sucks and you should gift it to me.

Dan Wesson revolvers used to be some of the best ones available. That set should fetch a pretty penny should you decide to sell. Its hard to find firearms in the original cases with the original paperwork like that one.

ETA: If you dont care for revolvers, Id probably just stash it and hand it down.

I have that exact pistol with the 4" barrel. A revolver enthusiast would be STOKED to own that set.

I'm pretty sure Garry James discussed the value of a kit like this in a Guns & Ammo column within the last several months. I can't find it online, and I already gave away the magazine. Maybe someone who keeps old issues can find it.

I think he said the Blue Book of Gun Values placed a base price on the kit with extra value per inch of the extra barrels over a certain length (4"?). The length of the barrels in the kits apparently varied from kit to kit, and the longer ones are more valuable. Maybe your local library or gun store has a Blue Book you could take a peek at.
