This is my very first post. From what I have leaned from this VERY extensive 617 thread everyone is quite impressed with this revolver.

To reaffirm: Is the 617 10 shot .22 S&W revolver built with a round butt K frame?
I have place a 6" barreled 10 shot on order with expected pick up date 01-July-13. Cash price will be $700.00 + extortion (tax)

Watched a u-tube video where his 617 cylinder would lock up in single and double action. What I did notice was that the shooter was double action dry firing it quite a bit. DUHHHH.
