jim c 351 Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 I bought this 97 riot gun at the last gun show. As you can see almost no finish, but almost no rust or pitting. It was made in 1924, so it was available during most of the lawless years. Jim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldtrooper Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Great find ... I remember the first time I took a model 97 hunting ... And promptly lost a hunk of my hand chambering a shell ... Lesson learned! Nice piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jl7422 Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Very nice Jim. I like the finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bug Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Jim, a favor if you could. I have an old one like that myself. It was a 30" barreled gun that someone had cut to 26.5". I'd like to trim it to riot gun length. What does your barrel measure, bolt face to muzzle? TIA Bob D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
