Don't know if that is true or not.
I have one of the full lugged four inch 17-7s.I was almost disappointed when the clerk first brought it out as NOS,as my mindset was for 6 inchers.I bought it,and in time,realized how nice it was,what a bargain it was too-especially since it came with a beautiful set of combats.
