Description:
This Winchester Model 1897 was made during World War 2 in 1942. It has a 30" inch barrel choked "Full" (.030"). The original blue is 80 to 85% with most of the obvious wear on the bottom of the receiver and magazine tube where it has been carried. The wood has been nicely refinished at some point, with the handguard getting new finish and the buttstock being replaced with what appears to be a 1897 Trench Gun buttstock (sling swivel base inlet filled on keel). Both the forearm and buttstock are free from any cracks, and the buttstock has been fitted with a checkered black plastic buttplate. The action on this Winchester is very nice with a slick and precise action that locks up perfectly. As you can see from the pictures, at some point the receiver was drilled and tapped for a side optics mount, likely for slug gun use. This Winchester Model 1897 would be the perfect gun for someone who wants one for their collection that they can shoot and enjoy, as well as appreciate for the historic design.
