MuayThaiJJ Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Finally got a 617! The DA trigger pull was quite heavy at 12# and it was originally a 6-shot. Here is what I did to lighten the pull reliably, convert it to 10-shot, and get it ready for Steel Challenge! Thanks @10mmdave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally making a run of carbon fiber 617 barrels since I’ve been waiting forever on 9mm blanks. Hopefully Dave has something awesome to offer too, 617s have a lot of potential in Steel Challenge.

Now if I hit the lottery and can buy a bench top CNC mill then maybe Nope, I'd still need an FFL to take in the gun, that would require a change of address. I could possibly offer a drawing for folks to give to their favorite machinist to do the work, I'll thinkmore on it. MWP Interested in what you're doing if it's what I think it is!
