The 617-4 was the only prelock 10-shot 617 made w/ a steel cylinder. Only made for a few months as I recall before it was replaced by the 617-5, which had the lock.

Mechanically excellent. Crisp light trigger. Lockup shows just the slightest bit of movement. No endplay, timing right. Cosmetically the only thing worth mentioning is the fact that the original owner, in his attempt to justify his "unfired" description apparently scraped a little carbon off the front of the cylinder. Doesn't show in the photos but there are faint marks suggesting this, also under the top strap.

$1300 shipped and insured from my FFL to yours, 3-day no-fire returns. I'll take USPS MO, also Chase Bank cashier's check as I can walk to a Chase Bank branch and find out immediately that a check is good. Ships via USPS PM. My FFL is generally easiest to meet up with on the weekends.

Please note: I purchased a rifle on GB early last week, sent funds last Thursday, I expect the rifle to ship any day now. If this 617 sells I will bring it w/ me when I go to pick it up. If the gun is sold but the check hasn't arrived I'll still drop the 617 off, prepay the postage, then just give my FFL a call, he should ship it next day.

Any questions please ask, thanks for looking.
