Hot damn. Always wanted one after seeing the Mummy. Just ordered mine.

Time to slamfire some clays.


What material is the buttpad made from?

To answer the above post: On my clone, if I were to forget to release the trigger, it gun will slam fire. I may be wrong, but I don't think anyone has designed a disconnecting trigger for the '97. Certainly no Winchester built 1897's ever had a factory installed disconnecting trigger.

In the video the author comments that they didn't really enjoy the "slam fire" and weren't real comfortable even doing it. I feel the same way. IMHO, it just seems wrong.

I would also suggest, that before you slam fire any '97, that you ensure that the out of battery, in battery safety interlock adjustment is within specifications. Slam fire is one thing, an out of battery slam fire is another thrill entirely. Remember, 2/3 of these shotguns are now over 100 years old. Unlike the Winchester Model 12 and Ithaca 37, when the Model 1897 is slam fired, the bolt is in battery but the carrier is only almost in battery, but has passed the sear, which is adjusted with the trigger stop screw. The carrier is almost fully locked. The 1897 is meant to be pumped with in a deliberate and authoritative manner, it is not meant to be sissy pumped.

IMHO the Winchester '97 was not designed to slam fire, instead the design wasn't able to prevent a slam fire. In order to make an accidental slam fire somewhat safe, a trigger stop was added and it is adjusted to allow the sear to hold the hammer back until the carrier is almost in lock-up. Intentionally slam firing a '97 is somewhat foolish, especially if the trigger stop adjustment hasn't been checked.

They can slamfire??

Real 1897s all have the ability to slamfire, including the regular 30in hunting version.

Unless something fishy is going on with the repros they should slamfire too. Plenty of videos on YouTube and posts on forums say that Norincos can be slam fired as well.

Now obviously slamfiring moving clays is a bad idea.

Also its interesting to note that they can be used for SASS.
 
This is my first repop 1897, so I will see when it gets here. I am sure I can make it fit and I won’t feel bad modifying this one vs doing it to my real 1897
 
i own two and just ordered another from this offer, Ive had all the different versions and every one slam fires, its how they are built
 
So.. you want to sell guns... and post a video of how much Chinesism crap it is..

New tactic.

Canadian's will still buy them by the crate load. :rolleyes:
