Wild Walt. 92206 Posted November 20, 2024 Share Posted November 20, 2024 (edited) SOLDI have a solid frame 1897 shotgun for sale. It is not working, it is for parts only. j I gave it to a local gunsmith to convert it to a trench gun clone. It was supposed to be cerakoted dark grey, and barrel cut down to 20 inches, and the underside of the barrel had three groves milled in it for the retainer screws for the heatshield. The coating is a lighter grey than I expected, and when I got it back it did not work. Initially, the action would work and I would get occasional misfires, but now the action is really rough and it is hard to close the action after cocking. $350 plus shipping to your FFL as long as they will accept shipment from private individuals, or FTF in NE Indiana or surrounding area. I believe that I can ship directly to a C&R holder as well. It does not have the ejector, or the heat shield for the barrel. It had a new left extractor as well. I am tired of messing with it.

Someone with a 502-325-9223 number contacted me via text. Smokewagon Grampies whoever contacted you was not me. The shotgun was sold FTF locally. They are trying to scam you. My area code is 260. My suggestion would be to call the number that the text is from and confront them. My guess is that they will not answer.

Thanks Chris smith You listed your phone number in your original post that’s how they got to you. I reported it to the moderators but the scammer was faster than I was. NEVER EVER POST A PHONE NUMBER OR EMAIL ADDRESS ON A PUBLIC FORUM LIKE THIS!!! Posting your real name on your posts isn’t that good of an idea either.
