M317 thread or maybe just a .22 thread......just because.

[mod34]

Just in the mood to see all of the M317's and other .22's out there...just because. Thought I'd start it with the uber-rare 2" target, pre-lock M317. Lets see yours.

 

[texasgunner]

Well, since you showed me yours
My 63 no dash
Its currently for sale in Classifieds --

Gotta love those rimfires! In honor of my 44th birthday last Friday here's 22+22 (actually it's 617 + 41 but that would be 658 and I'm not that old )

Gebe,
Really nice M317!!

Thanks for sharing Chad. Next up on my "need to acquire" list will be a 3" pre-lock 317. Looks like you have a few nice ones there!

 

[s&wchad]

I really like the 317's, the weight (or lack of it) is really quite amazing. Your 2" is awfully nice!

The 3" version is a lot of fun at the range and it usually finds its way into a coat pocket when I'm out in the woods. I've had mine for about ten years and it's my favorite kit gun variation. I found the 2" cheap about a year ago and thought it would be perfect for snakes when hunting out west. It's not like we see that many rattlers (one, once), but it was a good excuse!

 

[Gebe]

Thanks mod34. It's one of my favorites as it's so light and handy, it's almost unreal. It's also very accurate and unlike others who have 317s, the trigger is not bad at all.

Tell me more about your 2" "target" 317. I've never heard of one. Were they a special run or did you have a target barrel installed?

s&wchad,
You've got the best of both worlds with both versions. I almost bought the short barrel but wanted adjustable sights and a little more accuracy for blasting these pesky squirrels around here.

 

[mod34]

Gebe,
Check out the 3rd ed. of SCSW. This is one of ~120 made in this config. Took me what seemed like for ever to find one.

On another note, I'd like to see SW make a 3", kit gun/target version of their M351. That would be GREAT!

Thanks for an excuse to show off my newest acqusition from yesterday, model 63-4 5" 8 shot:

 

[mod34]

Nframe..,
I"ve been oogling a 5" 63 at the local shop as well. Very,very tempting. Thanks for the pics, she's nice!

Anyone know when the 22 LR Centennials hit the market place? They appeal to me as a companion to my current J's.

 

[mod34]

Glenn,
Funny you should ask. I called SW this morning about this and am REALLY waiting for the M351C to come out. In any case, the guy answering said that they have not been given a release date yet. I'm ready when they are though.

 

[Plottman Pops]
