Always thought the Dan Wessons were under rated. If I recall correctly they are choke rifled. That is, smaller at the muzzle. Guy at Greenfield had a rough D.W. thought he had a loose 2.5 barrel also. Don't know his name, he does CIG shows. Next one at Alexandria. 9/1 and 9/2.Does anyone know of a reasonably-priced 2 1/2" barrel/shroud for an old DW .357 15-2?
