winchester 1897

The Winchester Model 1897, also known as the Model 97, M97, or Trench Gun, is a pump-action shotgun with an external hammer and tube magazine manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. The Model 1897 was an evolution of the Winchester Model 1893 designed by John Browning. From 1897 until 1957, over one million of these shotguns were produced. The Model 1897 was offered in numerous barrel lengths and grades, chambered in 12 and 16 gauge, and as a solid frame or takedown. The 16-gauge guns had a standard barrel length of 28 inches, while 12-gauge guns were furnished with 30-inch length barrels. Special length barrels could be ordered in lengths as short as 20 inches, and as long as 36 inches. Since the time the Model 1897 was first manufactured it has been used by American soldiers, police departments, and hunters.

    I got this in an online auction bundled with a mod.12. This thing has been hand polished and reblued, so no real collector value. There are a couple of freckles and someone dinged the receiver putting it back together, but other than that it's spotless. Whoever did the work made sure that all...

    After much deliberation, I've decided to sell the '97 I picked up on auction recently. The description said that it had been reblued and had a modern stock. I wanted a gun to convert to a trench gun (waiting list for heat shield). Then I opened the box. I'd say the bluing is easily 90-95%...

    Selling an old Winchester 1897 with what appears to be non standard wood furniture. The receiver and barrel assembly are different serial numbers with the receiver being built in 1900 and the barrel from 1902. I can attest that the shotgun is fully functional but obviously a bit beat up after...

    This shotgun is probably over 100 years old and still in good condition. It does show finish wear but appears to function ok. I can meet at any FFL you want at your expense in the Tacoma/Puyallup area. Price is $465.

    ***Sale Pending*** 16 gauge with "cyl" choke marked barrel. The barrel was shortened to about 21" at some point in the last 100 years or so, no front bead... In fantastic shape for its age. Takedown works just as it should. There is not a shell restriction plug in the magazine tube so it holds...

    Winchester 1897 receiver, internals, magazine tube, trigger. I guess, technically since it has the receiver, it would fall under shotguns instead of parts.
