S&W help

[A.J. Holst]

My friend (who is not a gun guy but likes guns) just bought some from an elderly acquaintance.

One is a full sized, pre lock Smith, 4" barrel, full shroud, beautiful factory "target-like" grips, adjustable rear sight.

I thought it was 686 or equivalent.

Until I saw it chambered in .22LR

I've never seen it's like, any idea what model it could be and value?

It is too clean to have more than 100 rounds through it.

17 or 617

Sounds like a K22

If it’s stainless and looks like 686 only in .22; it’s a 617. They are 650-700 new. You might get a premium if it’s a 6 shot pre-lock.

Post a picture of it.

It would be a Model 617.  They generally run anywhere from $500 to 800 depending on the dash number variation and if its a 6 or 10 shot model.  The older pre-MIM and pre-lock models being more desirable. An early "No-dash" version in excellent condition with box and papers might go as high as $1000.

Thanks for the replies!

It is stainless, 6 shot.

No box or papers.

I'll get a pic next time I see him

Or just get it.

Everyone needs a 617 revolver and they are one of the hardest to get without paying a stupid price.
