Talking My DW Heritage
Hello All,

I'm writing this thread to let everyone know, I now own a DW Heritage.

I picked the Heritage model because I'm going to have Dave Severns do some modifications to it.
I would've loved if he could have gotten to them before I bought it, but he was booked for 6 months.

Lets not get me started on sending his Mustang in for some TIG welding??? Hehehehehe Just kidding I can wait.

I decided to go ahead and get the pistol now and enjoy it.

I'm going to Dave.........

Chain link the front strap with High Cut under trigger guard
Replace MSH with Ed Brown Chain link Mai-Well and blend to frame
Fit an Over sized barrel bushing, Flush cut and crown the barrel

I think that was it?????????

So here is prof.



I'll get some better pictures after the range report.............

I got to go clean her to get ready to shoot tomorrow.

Thanks for looking.

Greg

What's fun is stripping 2 down to bare frames and try to figure out which part goes with which gun...............

I'll clean it up and lube it real good.

Thanks for sharing in my happiness.

Greg

Congrats on the new DW.

I was looking for one this weekend at the gun show, I am kind of glad I did not see one as it would not have made the wife happy.
