The Smith & Wesson/Lipseys Model 617-7 Mountain Gun

[Talyn]

The S&W M617 Mountain Gun is a 10-shot, K-frame 36-ounce revolver with a barely-over 4-inch barrel. The “6” in “617” means the gun is fabricated from stainless steel. The 4.1” one-piece barrel has a tapered profile, making it slicker than the underlugged M617 revolver barrel. The factory-supplied stocks are high grade walnut, from Tyler Gun Works, in the “Bear Hug” pattern.

I’ve been wanting one

I have a pre-lock 6" 6-shot 617.

When they went with the 10-shot cylinder all the extra fluting is a turn-off for me.

With the 10-shots I'd prefer a non-fluted cylinder.
