No need to be sorry, you put in the work and got it. I'm glad that it went to someone on here. I didn't spend hours making calls and trying to track one down, that one just sort of fell in my lap. I already own one of the civilian M17's, and thought that it'd be pretty cool to have one of the military issue ones as well. I think I can let this one go, and put the money I was going to put in that towards some reloading equipment I've been looking to get. I built a 6.5CM recently for some long range shooting and need to start some load development. Congrats again.Sorry to hear that. If you only knew the number of hours that I've spent tracking down leads and making phone calls. If you are serious about purchasing one, I'll give you a heads up if the pistol from Wilshire becomes available. It's currently SPF.
