  • Looking at picking one of these up with a 30" barrel :) If you have the chance, could you tell me how long each of the sections is when the gun is in 2 pieces? Thanks

  • @crazyfvck Stock-to-receiver, 20 inches. Chamber-to-muzzle, 30 inches. Total length is 50 inches.

  • I'm surprised how easily (and smoothly) yours dissasembles. Mine is very tight and quirky - but works fine. A few of these 97's I see at gun shows are very hard to tear-down. Some past owners are unfamiliar with the tear-down procedure and use brute force, plumber's vice grips - or even a hammer!!! My word of advice to anyone buying this type of shotgun is to ask the owner/dealer to tear it down in front of you. It should come apart easily, just like in the video.

  • @j267699 The funny thing is, that when I bought this gun, it was dirty. I didn't clean it before filming, since this was made right after I bought it.

  • My dad's 97 shoots everytime you bring the grip forward. I am going to clean it to see if I can fix that problem.

  • @southparkfan1027 You may have an issue with the trigger sticking, or the finger is resting on the trigger when the action is cycled.

  • I am not African-American. Just American. I was also 19 when I made this video.

  • Great Video! Come shoot Cowboy Action with us down in Florida. The 97 is a prefered gun for the fast shooters.

  • @southparkfan1027 that is a built in feature it is supposed to do that

  • @Mossy500A Awesome. Thank you so much :)

  • Thanks for your insight!

    Just acquired one as a hand-me-down from my grandparents

  • Thanks for the nice video - I have one of these with the heat shield and bayonette - really fun to shoot. But I wouldn't cut yours down if I were you - would probably devalue it!

  • Great video, I've wanted a takedown ever since I seen bullitt, but I'm going to try an find a police issue with the short barrel.
