Personally, I would be on that "like white on rice".
There was a private seller at the last show asking $425. Had I not spent my budget already, I would've bought his.
The early runs had aluminum cylinders, like the 317. I don't think it was a 'problem', it just seems out-of-place on a full-size steel gun. AFAIK, the stainless 617 was produced with steel cylinders from the beginning.
If you decide not to get it, can you e-mail me with the details?

ladr, the 4-inchers sell for more than the 6-inchers.
Not as many four's were made, and they are quite desireable to many shooters.
The 4's are normally found for around $400 or so, so anything less is a great deal (as long as the gun is in great shape).
grapeshad, The discoloration on the front of the cylinder is completely normal, and is only cosmetic.

ladr, I love my M18.
I got it about 3-4yrs ago for $325 +6.5%tx.
The shop at which I bought it had two others.
Another for $325, and one for $425. (I remember cause I sometimes take notes when I go gunshopping and found this in my papers.)
I ought to give 'em a call, I know up to 6 mo.s ago they still had two M18's, but different ones.
Anyway, as much as I like the M18 and my M17's, I totally covet the 4" M617.
I'd buy one ASAP if one came around my parts, but they just don't.
?
Oh well, mebbe pick up 'nother M18.

I have just bought a Model 17 .22LR 6in blue with walnut grips--cost US$350(in Queensland)--as new and shoots excellently.Also has two speedloaders--hadn't seen these for a .22 before. It's every bit as much fun as my Browning Medallist.The best thing is,that as a trainer it is perfect because it is a full K Frame size,and I don't have to reload for it.
