Winchester Model 97 16ga. 1942 gun in superb condition. Worth a look!

There are very few American shotguns more iconic then the Winchester Model 97 Hammer Pump Shotgun! Made from 1897 until 1957 with more then 1 million sold. Market hunters adopted them early on, as did hunters in general and quite a few trapshooters. They served with distinction in 2 World Wars and were so feared in WW1 that the Germans would execute any soldier captured with one. In daylight or darkness, you knew right away what you were dealing with when you heard the signature clickety clack of the action being cycled. I used one on pheasant hunts in Montana with great success. Most 97’s were 12 bores, but Winchester made a small percentage of these guns in 16ga. The one I’m offering here for sale is among the cleanest I’ve ever encountered. It’s got a 28 inch barrel bored full—.030. The wood is perfect, as is the crisp WRA buttplate. Bore and mechanics are excellent. The blue is a solid 95% with just minimal wear. Built in 1942 it has the prewar forend. Civilian production ended in 42 for the duration of the war, as the arms manufacturers shifted over to military arms. This gun would make a fine shooter and an even better collectible. I pay shipping and insurance and you’ll be pleased with this gun at $895 delivered lower 48.
