Cemetery Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 So where does one find one of these 93/97's?
Doc Fill 'Em 67797 Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 I got mine from Coyote Cap Coyote Cap Gunworks I see they have gone up quite a bit. I got mine 2 years ago, it was about $700 or so then.
Fillmore Coffins, SASS #7884 Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 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. Fillmore
Lone Dog, SASS #20401 Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 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.

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 .
Snakebite Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 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. Snakebite

Dubious Don #56333 Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 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.... ) 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.
Colt McAllister Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 I'm sure someone in our sport already has a line on a pile of them at a good deal.
JD Trampas, SASS # 55781 Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Go to Coyote Caps web site, he has several to choose from and different price, he has some plain 97's also All for now JD Trampas P.S. scroll to the bottom of page, it was updated today, on the home page
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 I got mine less than a year ago. I just went to my local gunshop and asked if they could still get one. They checked their books and found a place that still had some on hand. I think it was in Colorado, but I can't remember for sure. Paid about $400 for it.
Bad Hand Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 You know they have always been "legal: in NCOWS, again another shooting sport with different rules.
Marshall John Joseph Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 I never had much interest in them because they were not approved. I've been looking and found some. If interested, PM me for details. MJJ
