M617 no dash

[larryofcc]

Do these early M617's have a full grip frame, square butt like a K22? I know the later guns have a round butt. Thanks, Big Larry

Yes, the early 617's have a square butt. I have a 617-1 and it also has a square butt!

i have a 617-1 and it is a round butt! but the box says it should be a square butt???

The transition to RB happen with the -1. SB -1's are out there but it seems most are RB.

Dayum 410bore that sucks!...I'd bring it back to the store and demand a SB!

i dont mind it being a round butt, i just think it is weird they didnt change it on the box

I thought I have seen SB stated before on those blue boxes for RB guns. It may refer to a square butt style grip or stock rather than the frame.

The 617 no dash was square butt and came with S&W combat wood grips.
