Winchester ~ Model 97 Trench Gun ~ 12 Gauge
Description: The Winchester Model 1897, also known as the Model 97, M97, Riot Gun, or Trench Gun, is a pump-action shotgun with an external hammer and tube magazine manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. Since the time the Model 1897 was first manufactured, it has been used to great effect by American military personnel, law enforcement officers, and hunters. When the United States entered World War I, there was a need for more service weapons to be issued to the troops. It became clear to the United States just how brutal trench warfare was, and how great the need was for a large amount of close-range firepower while fighting in a trench, after they had observed the war for the first three years. The Model 1897 Trench grade was an evolution of this idea. The pre-existing Winchester Model 1897 was modified by adding a perforated steel heat shield over the barrel which kept the soldier's hands off a hot barrel, and an adapter with bayonet lug for affixing an M1917 bayonet. This example is from 1928 and is still in great shape. A great piece for a Winchester collector or a collector of military arms. 12 Gauge Metal Condition: good Wood Condition: very good Bore Condition: bright Barrels: 20.5" barrel with heat shield Stock Dimensions: 14.25" LOP Fore End: wood Butt Pad: plastic Weight: 7 lb - 10 oz Sights: bead front sight Chokes: CYL Item Location: La Vista, NE Price: $4,999.99 Contact Seller |
