The early 597's did jam a lot, that one was a later model and the previous owner sent it to the factory for some mod. I never had a problem with it.
The action is a real monster to take apart. Don't open it up if you don't have to.
If the gun is used have a Smith look at it to be sure it was put back together right.
There's 4 recoil springs.
The 597 uses the same "wedge block" mechanism that the 10/22 does to lock the barrel into the action, so the design isn't as accurate as a bolt action.
@kawasaki228 The 1894 in .32 Winchester Special is a fantastic hunting rifle and I don't what the alchemists say. the .32 WS absolutely hits harder then the 30-30.
I agree, he should be wearing ear protection, but he doesn't care to.
He's also young and excited and I didn't want to give him the excuse that he didn't hear an instruction (like don't shoot the bird) because he was wearing ear protection.
Nice vid. I would like some info on the 597. Is that an extended magazine. I can't find one for the .22 mag. And what kind of stock is that also. Thanks, Will

@A7Delgado Oh man, I'd love to have one of those.
I'd offer to trade my model 70 for it but I'd definitely be getting the best end of that deal.

There need to be more .32 special model 94's. but tho's are pre 1964 so harder to get and see. i gotta restore a .32 special rifle my old man has.
