Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Last match of the year at Cedar Valley. My '97 was giving me trouble as rounds weren't going off. Coyote Cap took the shotgun and tightened the hammer screw, which had backed out. I never knew that the screw was on the carrier. Thanks, Cap and have a great winter.

That’s # 52 of the 97 ways a 97 will break your heart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried a 97 for a while. I loaded them backwards. Sideways. Dropped. Pumped before pulling trigger ejecting live round, went back to SXS so now all I do is fumble the shells around when loading!

Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I was told early on that a '97 is nothing but 100 different parts all waiting for the most inopportune time to break. I mostly shoot a double, but when I feel the need to aggravate myself, I pull out the '87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Pat Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 And a 38 special cartridge will slide completely down and out the barrel of a 45 lever action carbine. You can ask anyone on my posse that day! Irish ☘️ Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Years ago, my grand-dad's brother woke up in the middle of the night, and heard an armadillo rooting around near his house. He had no air-conditioning, back then, and with the windows up, one could hear things very well, out in the night. He eased up, grabbed two shotgun shells, loaded them in the double barrel, and eased to the door. Outside he drew a bead on the armadillo, and pulled the first trigger....nothing. He pulled the second trigger....nothing. He went back in the house, turned on the light, opened the shotgun, and removed the shells. Then he knew....in the dark, he had loaded two of this wife's lip-sticks in the shotgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
