winchester 1897
I have an old winchester 1897 shotgun, the gun has been reblued and has had an adjustable choke along with an after market butt pad placed on it, I don't belive the gun is worth much with all of the above having been done to it, and I don't shoot skeet well with it. I have always liked the look of the 1897 trench guns and some for some reason find the ridiculous idea of a bayonet mounted on a shotgun amusing, does any one know were i can get the proper heatshield and bayonet lug that was on the trench versions? I know its kind of silly to DE-sportarize a shotgun, but i already have it and have always wanted one of the trench versions.
thanks for your time! |

Gun Parts Corp probably has them. I've also seen them in Shotgun News. You know you can buy a complete '97 from Norinco WITH the heatshield, right?

I agree. The poly-choke, reblue, and the recoil pad do hurt the collector value. Make it what you want.
