Brian Enos's Forums... Maku mozo!

45 feet, one hand, S&W 5" 617 revo, .22, single action. I love this gun.

I traded into a 4" from a buddy who used it as his trapline gun. I think the 4" version is perfect balance in a 22 revolver. 

 Wish I wasn't a gun trading addict,  love to have that revolver back. I toted it with predator calling for half a dozen winters. Used it as a finish gun for coyotes or Bobcats that got away with a bad shot, that my dog would bay up. Accurate, quiet and effective,  617s are great revolvers.

Nice-lookin' 617! Who re-profiled the Barrel for you?

 

I had a local gunsmith / machinist in SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA shorten the 6" to 5", slab the sides, and undercut the lug.

 

I think he moved out of state.

Thanks--Isn't that the way it always goes with excellent Craftsmen? They're always retiring, moving away or changing jobs... :(
