Lets see your winchester 1897s and model 12s!!!

[Canadian Bush Sniper]

View attachment 1018258This one has a real long family history of 5 generations and over 100 years. There is also an 1895 in 303 Brit that have been a set since the beginning. My great, great grandfather was an outfitter in central BC and those guns have see a lot of use. In his old house there still are 2 sets of deer feet hangers in the kitchen where the rifle and shotgun were kept to knock off whatever predator came around.

Great story!

When high brass was high brass.

$4.99 regular on special $4.67...A real example of the good old days right there.

Wow!!

1897 turned into a trap gun. Single shot but trigger is quite good

Is that a custom stock? Or did they come as a trap model?

The first three photos (following) are of a 16 ga Model 12 that I refinished for a close friend. The last photo is of my two 12 ga 1897s, my 16 ga 1897, and my 12 ga 1897 Trench Gun.

While I've acquired the vast majority of my gun collection myself, the 16 ga 1897 was purchased by my Grandfather in 1925.

Mines not an original Model 12 riot gun...It was professionally modified for Wild Bunch Action Shooting...But it is a riot to shoot...HA.

The original factory version like you said must be rare...WOW !

 

[Falconflyer]

Ha, nice play on words!

I've only seen one riot gun in quite a few years.
