93/97 ?


Cemetery

Recommended Posts

I bought 3 at Big 5 Sporting Goods here in California. $260 apiece I think? They haven't had them in a year or two.

So where does one find one of these 93/97's?

 

You don't. Ya done missed the boat years ago, unless Cap might still have some. Only 2600 were made and sold out long ago.When SASS banned them, IAC closed them out. Big 5 got some and put pink tag clearance prices on them. My two from Big 5 were $239 each. You will not see any on the used market that cheap. In fact, you will pay a premium. People that scarfed them up are pretty much fond of them and will be hanging on to them. If Cap has any they will be slicked and pricey. But worth every penny.

 

Everything I possess is for sale. But those two 93/97 would be quite high. They worked just fine out of the box and are the safest and strongest 97 variant of all time.

Bought mine at a regional from a guy that had a pallet of them. $189.99. You can still get one here http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/37_288/products_id/39955/Interstate+Arms+93W+++12+20+CB+COWBOY+PUMP+++WAL .

Never know, there could be a pile of them around some place....... it wouldn't surprise me to see a unexpected stash of them turn up any day now, .......... Just a guess of course.

I bought one at Big five back when and used it as a practice gun for a while. It's a house gun because the wife feels more comfortable with a 97 than an 870 or something. (Gee, I wonder why THAT is.... :blink: )

 

Internally it seems identical to a 97, the only real difference I've found being that weird-o ejection port. In my experience that big port is more of a hindrance than an advantage; shells tossed in have a better than even chance of bouncing back out than with a standard port. Since there is no safety issue with these guns and the port (IMHO) isn't the advantage some say it is, I have to wonder if the hangup with it being used doesn't lie elsewhere.

 

Nice to see the Wild Bunch...bunch seems to be fairly open-minded and has approved these 93-97's.

Go to Coyote Caps web site, he has several to choose from and different price, he has some plain 97's also
