Getting a S&W 617-4

[Professor Frink]

Many K22 Masterpiece (six-shot blued .22LR) revolvers are more than fifty years old, meaning that they are considered C&R (Curio & Relic), which also means that they are exempt from being on the certified roster. I have one. This means that you can find one out-of-state. You need to be sure that it is more than fifty years old, though, based on its serial number.

Don't know if this is what you want, but here's a 617. Sellers a real nice guy. I use to shoot comp. with him.



Please use the PM function for this kind of advice. It does not look rightl here. I am sure you understand.

Yes, you can get a 4" 617-4 or 617-6 imported into California, since they're on the list.

Several of the ones listed on gunsamerica.com say they have the internal lock, and a few that have pictures of the left side show the lock right above the safety. Dunno when they started adding it, but the -5 and -6 has it.

Here's a pic of a -4 with no lock:
