Curley Cole, SASS #56849 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Winchester Well here is me and Top's new/old "project" gun. Winchester Model 97. Serial number appears to put it about 1912. Is a long sucker. It is at least a 30" bbl, maybe more.... We just wanted something to maybe shoot a Wild Bunch catagory occasionly. And if nothing else, well, we could sell er off fer parts..... curley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't work, then by all means, bring it back to life, and then enjoy it. These grand old guns should be allowed to speak again. And please.... Don't cut the barrel!

Old Tops 73 Ya got me there, it goes well with Old Tops original 73..it works. I didn't want to put a lota money in a 97 as I just don't much like to shoot them, so I got this. curley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 It seems to have a little bit more finish than any of my 97's. And YES - emphatically, cut the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
