8mmDale Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Its not perfect, its probably not worth piles of money because its been refinished, but it was love at first sight. What are you supposed to do when you love these things and people just bring them in off the street to sell them?Winchester model 97 12 gauge, vintage 1917-1918. Its even got a full choke, can not WAIT to see how it does in the next tactical shotgun course!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8mmDale Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Lets see the '94!Not a very good picture, camera didn't have a flash. This one was built in 70, so its alot newer than the shotgun. Its in great shape, even better find than the shotgun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Sweet. 30-30? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8mmDale Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) Sweet. 30-30?Yeah .30-30, such a great rifle! I was shooting a steel plate at 175 yards with it. I think I need a model 92 next, maybe in .44-40. Please no one bring one in, totally got busted today about the new shotgun. I got ratted out by someone who doesn't follow opsec. A 92 will get me divorced. Edited November 9, 2011 by 8mmDale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in a hurry.I sold a really nice brand new stainless steel one to a guy and before he even got to shoot it his house was burglarized. Didn't even have it a week. I'll keep an eye out though. Lever guns don't last long on the used rack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 I remember that. Definitely don't want a new one. Too many quality issues.Prefer a nice 80's model. That's the era the rest are from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
