G W Wade Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Does anyone make a good book on the in workings of the 97 shotgun? Not disassembly but the actual how the parts work together and adjustments. Have see the Maker-Wright videos, but looking for more. Something like the Kuhnhasen books for handguns Thanks GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 About the most comprehensive is the AGI video by Bob Dunlap on the 97 - https://www.americangunsmith.com/product/winchester-97-pump-shotgun Kuhnhausen hasn't gotten to a 97 writeup.

Jackrabbit Joe #414 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 G.W.Wade I have a hand book for Identification, Stripping & Assembly, Service & Maintenance, Operation & Function, Illustrated Parts List, Accessories & Spares, Historical Memoranda, Additional References.. This is for a 12ga Winchester 97.. Price at the time was only $5.00. telephone # 1-215-438-2456 www.rayrillingarmsbooks.com Distribution: Ray Riling Books 6844 Gorsten St. Philadrlphia, Pa 19119 USA They also carry around 30 other Handbooks on a variety of Firearms. The book to me is very well worth the $5.00. It may be more today as I got it some years ago. You got nothing to lose pilgrim. The book is 34 pages in length. Also have the AGI VHS & Disc & very good info with those by Bob Dunlap Jackrabbit Joe #414 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major General Shagnasty Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Contact Just Bill, he shoots out of Southern Oregon with the Jed I Knight group. He wrote the book on the 97. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Brules Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 This is the third or fourth recommendation for the AGI (American Gunsmithing Institute) video covering dismantling, repair, maintenance and reassembly of the Win97 Shotgun. Bob Dunlap is the gunsmith on the video. I don’t know what the video costs today, but it’s worth every cent. These videos used to be about $40, but could sometimes be less, if on sale. They likely cost more, now, but are likely worth more, now. Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 10 hours ago, Major General Shagnasty said: He wrote the book on the 97. "He" would be: William Longiotti And "the book" would be: A comprehensive guide to the Winchester model 1897: Everything you ever wanted to know about the Winchester model 1897 shotgun One place to find that recently written (2016) book is: https://www.amazon.com/comprehensive-guide-Winchester-model-1897/dp/1533264929/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=longiotti&qid=1583858520&sr=8-1 Although the description and chapter index of it does not lead me to believe it has what the OP wanted, which was techniques to understand, adjust, tune and make race-ready a 97.
