Does anyone know the best source of military surplus S&W 1917 revolvers (best being the cheapest)? I'm looking to get a cheap 1917 in excellent mechanical condition for a customization project. Brazilian contract models are okay...

What do you plan to do? I have one, but not that I want to get rid of.

I have thought about cutting the barrel to 4 inches and putting on a new sight, but the $200 to do it is more than I paid for the gun.

Head Hunter,
I'm not sure exactly what I want to do with it yet. Probably just refinishing it and replacing it with some target grips, but I've also toyed around with the idea of a PPC gun project --custom barrel with bomar rib, action job. I've heard that brazilian contract models can be had for around $150.00. Where?!?
