I'm about to order a new cyl. choke barrel for my model 97 (takedown receiver style). My question is: How do I get the old barrel off & install the new one?
I just want to be sure I don't muck anything up trying to figure it out... |

There were two different models of the Win 97. A fixed barrel model where the barrel was screwed into the receiver and a take down model.
On the take down model, empty the firearm (safely and not into the neighbor's car) first. Point in a safe direction. At the end of the magazine tube, you'll see a pin. Push it through and using it as a lever, rotate the tube so as to disengage it. It should lift up slightly and with it, you should be able to pivot the barrel/tube assembly off the receiver. Pull apart and you're finished. If you're having trouble, repost and I'll try again. ------------------ Vigilantibus et non dormientibus jura subveniunt |

Oh, if you want to change barrels all the time on a take-down model, you'll need to buy a new barrel, the barrel block (probably a better name but I don't recall the proper name), wedge, and screw (check GunParts for the proper name). I had one such set up with both a 20" and a 30", but it was stolen years ago. Win Model 97 ser# D412481 if anybody ever comes across it.

Dave:
Hang on, I have the disassembly slides and will send them later today. Have to do some "Honey Doo's" first. HJN |

Thanks, guys!
Gun Parts Corp. has a checkered stock combo listed for less than $75 - I'll probably have to pick up one of those, too... Then the other '97 will feel neglected, so I guess I'll have to take it shooting... |
