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 have here a 1906 C series 1897. This gun was rebarreled with an authentic E series trench gun barrel, and has the correct lug indents.
Gun handles well, lock up is tight, bluing is 95-98%. I've put about 30 shells through it myself and if I was not bitten by the AR bug I would not be seeking...
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 5 shells (5+1 in the...
Winchester 1897 pump action shotgun, little rough around the edges as noted in the photos, additionally you’ll need the chamber reamed out to 2 3/4inch if you want to shoot modern ammo. Buttplate has been replaced with a modern reproduction that will need to be fitted, and there is a hairline...
Looking for a 12 gauge barrel. Barrel threads measure 1.082" O.D. and looks like 30 threads per inch. Threaded section measures 1 3/16" long. Also need the barrel/magazine notches 14.5" from threaded end of barrel. And a 18 rib forend. Any condition considered.
This 1897 Winchester is ready for a new home! It was used for cowboy competition. Buyer pays $35 shipping/Insurance or if local $10 OSP Background Fee.
I broke the front grip on my 1897. This beauty with a 30 in barrel has been out of action ever since. Only now am I getting around to replacing it. What do I use on the raw wood to match it to the stock , add the gloss look, etc. How do I keep this one from breaking too? Can I protect it?
I have a nice condition Winchester model 97 with ammo for sale. I live in Adair village but am willing to travel up north or south. I will also be in town for the Rickreall and Albany gun shows if you would like to meet me there for a cheaper transfer. The upper half seems to be from 1906 and...
About five years ago my Dad gave me a pretty worn Winchester 1897. He got it from my uncle and is not a gun guy so I was the natural choice to take it off his hands. It had a rusted barrel, chipped stock, and tons of dings and dents. Luckily the blueing was still pretty nice.
I saw a thread on...
Hey guys!
Earlier this week, I happened to come across a really nice 1897 heat shield that someone no longer wanted. I gave it a new home, and now I’m now looking for something to put it on! I’m looking for an 1897 that is reliable, in good working order and condition, and has shortened stock...
