Milsurps / Prohib Winchester Model 1897 Appreciation Post

Post image

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet ANOTHER Gun Appreciation Post! Today we have an all time classic, and the best part? You can still get them in Canada if I am not mistaken, and Norinco made copies of this shotgun to revive it, along with Cimarron Firearms.

You recognize it from plenty of games such as Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption II, as well as plenty of films such as The Mummy. This gun barely needs an introduction! The one and only! Winchester Model 1897!

Enjoy!

My Norinco isn't anywhere near perfect, came missing a shell latch screw but, it sure is handy in the woods. A really sleek and nice looking design in a version I don't mind beating bush for grouse and camping with.
