617 universal champion question

1coolcat · Aug 16, 2015

Ive been collecting 22 LR guns. Recently it was brought to my attention that Smith and Wesson made a model 617 universal champion. What a cool gun.
I have never seen one for sale in the U.S. since there kind of new I didn't think it would be much of a problem trying to track one down for purchase.
Hahaha!! Right!
Can anyone give me some direction as to tracking down a gun that was made for sale in another country.. How to purchase, import( with out the crazy fees) ect.

I've actually got a military friend on the lookout for one of these. He used to go overseas alot and I was hoping maybe he might be able to find one. Unfortunately, he's been staying stateside more recently. He still has some friends that might be able to look, so maybe one will turn up.

Yah know I can't for the life of me understand why with all the people that want one , why S&W doesn't have the Performance Center start making some . Like the 647 so many a year .

I agree,
It would be cool if Smith and Wesson had some program that one could get on a sign up sheet, make a 25% deposit and then do small production one they had a certain amount requested.

Was it established that this was actually produced by S&W? I have a feeling this is a product of photoshop. If not, some custom shop.

I sent an email to Smith and Wesson inquiring about this specific model. I will let you know what they say.
I never thought of it being a custom gun, it could be a unicorn.. We will see!

I did find a German website that had them listed for sale, but were sold out.
What ever that means.
