Frederick Jackson Turner Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Working the SASS Booth at the SHOT Show; I was just talking to Coyote Cap about the '97 shortage. He has just come out of a meeting with the promise of 1,200 new, latest-edition D models! Time to put some money up! I'm in for 2... No delivery date yet; contact Cap, if you want further info. Cheers, FJT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, FJT Very cool - I just got a Winchester '97 and if it looks promising may look into Coyote Cap's D models...except, what is a 'D' model? Solid version?

Marauder SASS #13056 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 One of the biggest differences between the D and E is that the D does not have the buttons on the side that release the mag cartridge stop. With the E, you merely press the two buttons and all the shells come streaming out the loading port. I suppose the D is a little easier to make since it just uses screws to hold the magazine stops. http://marauder.homestead.com/97info.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they're leftover 93/97 frames. Fillmore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, FJT Hey FJT! If you get a chance to wander around, try and find Merwin Hulbert Company's booth. I'd sure like to know if they're making any progress turning out a working shooter.

Great News for 97 lovers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederick Jackson Turner Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Because we don't use the magazine tubes in SASS (except in WB) the cartridge stops are superfluous, thus, yes, the only purpose, then, of those pivot screws is to fall expensively out in the heat of competition... :-O.
