@Chrome57flytha2nd It kills clays, fruit and water jugs as well. Haven't seen any zombies yet.

@enternetguy420 Only because the microphone, MP4 encoding and your speakers knocked about 100 decibels off it. Try a 12 gauge without earplugs, these were Winchester Super-X 2 3/4" 00 Buck loads. Around 170 decibels.

Can it handle 3 inch magnum shells?

@batlad i would prefer to have the real thing, just because its a piece of history, so i would want it to be authentic

@MARINECORPS1251 If you're American, I can see why you'd take that position. The early Norinco guns imported into the US before the US arms embargo were really poor quality. The tolerances were bad, so the guns were wobbly, and the metallurgy was crap, so they'd rust easily and wear quickly. The current ones imported to Canada are pretty good, and the M14S and M1897 repros are close to GI quality at 1/4 the price.

chinese reproduction... why would you want that? you just know its a cheap piece of shit

@DrakeGmbH When you do even if you just hear them - that sound will make most vacate the premise immediately - and those who are too stupid to remain behind - are some real bad cases and are just begging to be removed from the gene pool.

@PinkOld Ha. Some people never listen. My mothers brothers and sisters grabbed all of her parents china, etc after they passed away. They ended up selling all of it on eBay :( And yeah, it was a chunk of change to be dropping on one gun. But I am happy to now own a piece of history. I've always loved this particular gun, ever since I was a kid.I am thinking of making a U.S. trench display in my basement, with a complete uniform on a mannequin and some unfired all-brass shells..

@crazyfvck Whoah!

Amazing how collectible those old war horses can get.

It sounds as if they're commanding even higher prices than their successor, the vaunted model 12.

My late wife's folks had a model 12 that they had from the house of the wife's Dad.

I told them not to take it back there because that shotgun was worth $800 minimum, and because she had a crazy, thieving sister I knew would steal it the first chance she had.

Guess what?

They ignored me, and it was GONE.

Idiots!

I'm curious.. Have you ever tried the Winchester Ranger low recoil 00 buck shells? I was thinking about using those since these 1897's don't have a butt pad. I don't want to put one on since mine is a vintage trench gun, and I want to keep it original.

[crazyfvck]

@PinkOld LOL. Wish I could have bought one for that cheap. I just bought an original trench gun from WW1, in less than great condtion. for $2000. If it was in better shape it would be worth closer to $4000.
