John E. Law Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I am selling a "E" body takedown 97 12ga. Overall this shotgun is very nice. The finish is typical for its age. Dave Smith at GunCraft did the action work on this. Leather wrap comes with it. Price dropped to $750 shipped to your FFL. I'd consider a possible partial trade for a Baikal double trigger, Remington Spartan, Bounty Hunter II etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E. Law Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 It's action is slicked up, but the shotgun feels really solid. If I didn't shoot a double I'd keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCandless Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Do the numbers on the receiver and the barrel match? Fjestad Blue Book says that the "Model 1897" on the slide rail was changed to "Model 97" in 1912. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Law Posted May 21, 2022 Author Share Posted May 21, 2022 Yes, they're matching. I got the year made from the serial number of of Winchester's website. JEL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
