Dan Wesson model 15

[Arm]

Looking at a DW model 15 2 1/2" barrel, condition is a little
rough. Has heavy rust specs on the right side, has no accessory's such as barrel tool, no extra barrels, no box.
Mechanically seems OK except that single action hammer pull is very stiff, perhaps needs a good clean and lube. Asking price is $375. What think you?

Around 1980-81 I bought a new DW 15. 4", fixed sight, basic service revolver. It came with the barrel wrench and instructions, loose in the cardboard box. Price $158 including fright and tax! This was some sort of inventory reduction and the 2" version wasn't offered.

What do I think? You can get a J-frame shooter for that money, and save a pound!

Remember, never buy a gun that you have to make excuses for. I think I would pass on that one.

 

[Richard Simmons]

I'd pass. The barrel tool is going to run you close to $50. If the issues are truly just cosmetic I might got $150 for a truck gun but for $375 you can find a much better condition DW than what you're describing.

Ewk Arms sells dan Wesson wrenches for $25 (metal ones, not original).

Don't know how bad rust is, but heavy freakling should drop that price at least $100. Should be worth 250 minimum as parts gun, especially if bbl is not rusty too.
