Just ordered one. I have a real 1897 Winchester that is in great shape. I am happy to have a replica that I can abuse.
Nice, man, when I was young{20+ years ago} lol I had I think one of these-Original- in Take Down..in a leather case. Got it for a deal at a Gun show.. not long after, traded it for something more 'Tactical'..GAH!!
That would be cool to have it at least look like a trench gun.Originally Posted by bleaches
Anyone ever seen these parts needed to do this in Canada.

Yes, Numrich ship to Canada. I have one of these repro installed on my Winchester model 12 and very happy of the result. But they seems back order for the moment....
Just got my 1897 in the mail, so here's a preliminary review
Action and loading was initially janky but a few dozen passes of snappies turned everything smooth. Smoother, I mean. It's still Chinese. You can't help but squint when you look at it. That's how scrappy it is.
Didn't come with any sort of manual, or even a warning label. Just the gun in a plastic bag with a very light film of what might have been cosmoline, or not. Stuff behaved the similarly to old, gunky cosmoline but it didn't have that distinct smell.
Only definite bad mark is that the stock is damaged. It obviously chipped at some point, and then they glued the bit back on. It's not a functional problem, but it's kinda flagrant and hard to not look at. Not the best $300 I ever spent, but not the worst by a long shot.

I assume the front bead unscrews and counterclockwise as usual?
It has to be removed to allow the heat shield which comes with its own bead to slide over the barrel.

They actually are sold out and cannot back order it at the moment. I placed an order days ago when this thread went live and they emailed me yesterday telling me they are cancelling my order. so for now we are SOL.
I guess I got one of the last heat shield/ bayo mounts! Mine shipped out on Monday, ordered a bayo and sling today. Already spent almost twice as much on add ons and haven’t even got the shotgun in my hands yet!
