A somewhat local gun pusher has a S&W M1917 for sale, $499 non-negotiable. I am weak, and have been spending too much lately on guns and never asked to hold it, knowing that once I had it in hand, barring any major issues, I'd buy it. Supposedly a 30's production gun, I don't know if it's a contract gun or commercial. The stocks and finish looked good at a glance. Aside from the normal checks, timing, lock-up, bore, matching numbers etc. anything to look for? Since leaving it, it's been gnawing at me. I came to the experts.
