Detailed below find a brief summary on what it took to import the 617 PC "profile barrel" back from Germany. * Complete the financial transaction with the seller. * Your FFL must complete ATF form 6. ( in triplicate ) and submit for approval to import a weapon into the US. This process takes approx 6-8 weeks. *When the ATF returns the approved form 6 to your FFL they will include two each of a form 6A. These need to be completed. The original ( approved ) form 6 & the two form 6A's need to be sent to the shipper. The form 6A is a Customs release form. US Customs keeps one of the 6A forms & sends one to the ATF. Customs will release the package and return the original form 6 and the gun to your FFL assuming there are no paperwork issues. Your FFL is required to keep the original form 6 in his files ( just like 4473's ) for 20 yrs. There is no import duty or fee required since the weapon was manufactured in the US.

S&W did make this model. A German distributor ordered 306 from the performance center in 1998. Modification was to a 617-1. I imported the attached back to the US last year. PC617-HEIM.pdf

Great balance vs my 617 6" full underlug. Balances much like my 617 4" & 627 PC.

As gr7070 indicated this 617-1 was built by S&W Performance in 1998. S&W shipped 306 units to a German distributor Wischo I was lucky to find it on the www at a German gun dealer in Jan of 2011. It took 3 months ( paperwork ) to import it to Georgia.
