Rolltide, you posted way back that you had some barrels. Email me if you still want to trade or sell.

I have several 445, 44 and 357 barrels. What do you have to trade. The only one I would consider selling outright is a 8" 357. Might possibly work a trade on the others.

a 445 6" blue full lug vent barrel and shroud. I'm looking for 8" full lug vent or same compensated.

All my 445 stuff is stainless, so I don't think it would help you out any. I am working on a compensator for my 445 that will attach to the end of a standard barrel. It will be made of aluminum and will be much shorter than the Dan Wesson compensators (very similar to the compensator on the new S&W 500.)

Did you ever get the timing problem on your gun worked out?

I have a stainless gun with a 4" VH, 6"V, and 8"VH Slotted. I take it you have a gun with a 6"VH barrel. If you want to trade for the stainless package, I might be willing to trade for the blue gun but I would have to have some extra to boot since it is a stianless gun and has the extra barrels.

Just let me know.

Rolltide,

Just came back from the Co Springs gunshow. Found a 10" 445 VH barrel and shroud for $150. I'm pretty shure I'm going to send the revolver back to DW for that cylinder locking bolt issue. I'm interested in your compensator design, can you tell me more about it?

chazgin,
Here is a simple description and very simple diagram of my compensator.

1. Weld 2 barrel nuts end to end so that when your barrel is installed with the new welded nut, one of the nuts will protrude past the end of the barrel shroud.

2. Drill and tap a hole in the front face of the under lug on every barrel shroud you want to mount the compensator on.

3. take a piece of aluminum bar stock about3/4" thick and shape it to the outside contour of the front face of the barrel shroud.

4. Drill and countersink a hole for the attachment screw.

5. Drill another hole that aligns with the bore of the barrel just a little larger than the bullet diameter all the way through the aluminum bar.

6. drill a second hole the exact ouside diameter of the barrel nut. This hole should be concentric with the No. 5 hole and only be deep enough to accomodate the protruding part of the doubled barrl nut created in No. 1.

7. Drill holes on a backward angle in the top of the compestor. They can be just holes or cut into slots. (I show slots in the diagram)

8. Mount the compensator to the barrel shroud with the attachment screw and drill a hole cross ways through the attachment screw and the side of the compensator so that the hole passes through both the screw and the compenstor. Slip a roll pin through this hole to lock the attachment screw in place.

follow the link below for the diagram.
