I have a very nice SMC PENTAX - M 1:4 300mm, and I would like advice on an extender that will fit (and work) with it. I am thinking of a X1.5 or X1.7, any recommendations please.

There are matching Pentax teleconverters from the M series era. The one optimised for your lens is the Rear Converter K T6-2X.
Best regards, John

If you get the SMC Pentax-F 1.7 it will make any manual lens Auto Focus. You may need to get it close by hand but then the AF will keep it focused.
