Late to the party but I hadn't seen this thread before so I just ran through it to enjoy what others have found or built. I bought this 1918 vintage Model 1917 off GunsAmerica so I have no idea of the background. The Pointer stocks and Pachmyar adapter I added after taking off a large set of rubber grips.
This one I bought from another member here. It was a 25-2 rebarreled with a 1950 (tapered) 6.5" barrel. I sent it to my gunsmith with instructions to make it into a "Mountain Gun". It turned out great and is possibly the best holster gun I've owned.
