    I have bought a half a dozen 97's from Lock Stock & Barrels , out of Simi Valley , I buy them  off of gunbroker . You should buy from a California FFL , it is a real problem to sell a gun to you with all the paper work . Have you tried to buy a 97' from any of the shooteres at your club or shoots ? I would not have a problem face to face , because I have sold to shooters in Ca. at different shoots when I've traveled through in the spring heading back to ID. . Splitthumb

      I have not.  I went to a match last weekend, but folks in that group weren't as sociable.  The group I'll be joining meets in a couple of weeks and I'll inquire with them then...just wanted to be able to shoot a match ready to go.  If you change your mind my gun guy in the Bay Area accepts shipments, but yes ideally it'd be great to try out first. Thanks!

      I am coming close to getting our home down to the insulation ,then drywall ,paint , then cabinets . We (wife & I ) are leaving for AZ> for the winter , Tombstone for the sate shoot between 10/21 -23 /19' . If you still haven't found a 97' , I will consider selling you a takedown model . I just do not have time to super tune one for you right now . Splitthumb

      The one for $750.00 was my backup gun forever but only shot about 20 rds. , this one is a very nice shot gun , when I buy a better  97' ,  it goes in the safe and I cut the barrel down of the lesser nice shotgun . Most of my guns will close the action by just shaking it with one hand forward , they are that smooth , so , you get what you pay for , just like having your 73' short stroked .

      Ah, I need to update my profile name then as my sass name is Jack-Knife and I wasn't at Bordertown unfortunately.  I was able to pickup a local Win. '97 pump though and now I'm on the search for a used gun cart else I'll make my own.  Hope you're doing well!

      Good evening , so , the 97' you bought . Is the barrel cut down , is it tuned and smooth to operate ? Buy a used running /joggers 3 wheel cart , use your imagine , a couple cross bars , cut out a couple of 1x6's for the butt stocks , storage box for your ammo and things . Or a hand truck , Splitthumb

      Hi!  Sorry I've been off the net for awhile.  Yes, its cut to 21 inches and pretty smooth...serial number places it around 1912...I love it.  I made my own cart out of donated cedar...works pretty well.  Hope you're doing well.

    I'm in ah and very impressed with your jewelling , could you explain how it is done . I've been doing my own tuning of Win. 97's , Ruger revolvers , & Marlin rifles , and a lot of other cowboys & cowgirls guns over the years in the Inland Northwest( Spokane , WA. & Coeur d Alene , ID. ). I'd love to do my own jeweling ,I've got a drill press (can it be done on it) what tool is used ?    Splitthumb

    I'm looking for information or parts on modified carrier or bolt parts for 94' Marlin CBs, thank you , Splitthumb 

  10. Splitthumb

    I've got what you are looking for , either a numbers matching 97' which is  more money or a non matching numbers 97' which is $575.00 plus $30.00 shipping & handling to your FFL from me , (a non FFL dealer . I'm from Spokane , Wash. & Coeur d Alene , Idaho , ,northwest inland area . I've been tuning 97's for over 15'yrs. , 99% of all cowboys & cowgirls shoot my tuned 97's in this part of the West .

      Howdy.  Picked up my 1873, have a new vaquero in jail and another on the way in 3 weeks.  Would love to see some picks of the 1897 once you're done....would consider adding it to my final vaquero order so that I have just 1 DROS.  I'm Jack Knife Jakob now.  Cheers,

    Sounds like you are all set to start competing , you'll appreciate your cart more when you have hands on building it yourself . I hope your 97' works out for you , any problems of questions, get a hold of me , Splitthumb

      I did , but removed it because I got my load down to insert number 26 & 1 1/8 oz. of shot all of shotgun shells for SASS shooting . This one is an extra one I had , I sold the other one to a friend who shoots trap also . You work up a load , write it down for , then work up another load for some other type of shooting . Then redial the universal block back to your other type of shooting. I use clays  (26)insertor 700 -x, (23)insert , because 700-x is a little hotter
