617 joins my 686

[Jeroenw114]

I wanted to show my recently bought 617-1

Nothing really special but I dressed it up like my 686 so they form a family.
Millett sights and like new diamond target stocks.

I would love to ad a 696 to it but the five gun limit here in Holland teases me. Not to forget that I never seen one here, I think they all stayed in the USA?

Very Very Nice.

Very sweet lookin 617..
Love how you dressed it up too..

Five Gun Limit?? Whaaaaatttt????

Nice pair,and interesting to note that your 617-1 is a square butt-mine is a round butt.

Good looking guns !! If I had lived in the old west, I would want one on each side.

Very nice! BTW: I use to work in Holland and I love your country. Almost decided to retire over there in the southern part. Anyway, nice guns.
Regards,

SaberOne, nice to hear. I live way in the north of Holland, in Groningen. Rings a bell?

Very nice set.

That is my favorite pair of revolvers.

Got to love them L Frames! The older grips look great on stainless steel.

I'm very confused...I thought the mod. 617 was only chambered in .22 LR.

Hey careful with the 5 gun limit thing... Californians might be reading this and we don't want them to get ANY ideas =/

Those are beauties, I would love to add a 617 to my collection in the future.

It is a 22. I think the recess for the rimfire ring loks a bit large due to shadow or so. But the gun at the front is 22

Great looking set, the grips are outstanding. That is my favorite pair of revolvers also, these two have made a few trips to the range together.

 

[Fyrepower71]

Nice pair of revolvers you have there.

 

[markush]

Great set! That must be a very early -1!! The flash chromed trigger and hammer, the old style latch and the square butt are all things my -1 doesn't have. I've heard people say square butt -1's exist but this would be the first time I've seen one.

That's s great pair, scarce in the SB configuration, and beautifully personalized. The 617 and 686 are among my favorite S&Ws. That's a 686 Mountain Gun in the single pic and a 617, 686 MG, 629 MG, and a 625 MG in a row.....
