I placed my order with Bull Creek 01-04-16, shipped to Ga and arrived 01-08-16, it turned out to be a 1911 or 1912 E takedown depending on which serial number page you look at (I wanted the pistol grip stock so it had to be a takedown, if solid frame then they have the knob/ball end stock, they won't switch out stocks) ...ran a box of Winchester AA low recoil through it; all extracted form magazine just fine, but the ejection was weak and 4 out of 20 hung in chamber, had to turn gun over to get empty...ejection was only about a foot from the gun except the 4 that hung up...bluing was really nice, walnut stock was very good, but had a "small" 3/4" crack...usual. The action was kind of rough but I did not ask for any action work so was expected; I have an IAC cowboy action '97 that is super butter smooth. If you are looking for a real "97, not expecting any high dollar real sale value, trench gun look (see all over trench guns selling $2-$4K) to just shoot and have fun with and say you have a real "97 with a cool looking heat shield then I don't think you could go wrong.
