I acquired an original '97 from a friend whose father passed. He didn't want to sell it to anyone else since he knew how much I'd appreciate it. It's a very special piece in my collection.
something about this gun just tickles my brain, its so simple and satisfying, the way the metal just slides together perfectly, all shotguns are cool but something about this one is just different
The rifle arrived today and I dialed in the scope just a couple hours ago th-cam.com/users/postUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL . I haven’t shot with a scope in probably 25 years. The X on the left was my target. (the shot almost in the bullseye on the right X was my father in laws first shot after I made adjustments) The two shots circled are my first 2 shots. Then I brought it down - shot once. Then brought it over to the left. From there zeroed it in to dead center. This all was from 25 yards out. Follow instructions carefully when mounting the scope. So far I'm very happy with the purchase.

Dude I love you videos so much, you have no Idea. I watch your videos all the time in between tarkov raids while loading, me and my friends watch your stuff on watch2gether all the time too! keep it up!
I fell in love with the Winchester 1897 when I bought my first one for Cowboy Action Shooting matches. At one point I had 5 originals in my gun safe, I basically bought everyone I came across on the Canadian gun forum. For speed shooting in matches I had a natural advantage, I'm right handed but left eye dominant. I could keep the stock on my left shoulder and feed shells from my belt with my right hand. I absolutely loved those guns, glad you're enjoying that nice reproduction trench gun !!
I have had mine for fifty plus years. The reasons are all the same. But just recently I have moved to Browning's next design. The Remington 11 semi auto. It will challenge an 1897. I still have and will always have my 97
You can slick it up a little and make that Norinco a little smoother. Cowboy Action Shooters know who would be able to do that for you. 1897's are AWESOME!👍
picked up a 1917 standard '97 takedown few weeks and if i ever happen to find a lone front end of a takedown, which i doubt will happen, i might make that into a trench configuration.so far fun to shoot though.
Nah, original examples are somewhat notorious for having issues today. Can't really hold it against them since they're century old budget guns, but most modern designs are significant improvements over this one.
Love my Norinco 97. Same barrel length but no heat shield. If you were in my area I'd lend some stuff you haven't covered yet, judging by the snow.. I'm doubting it.

Love the slamfire.
Cool slam fire POV!
Btw have you considered firing other WW1 shotguns such as the Remington Model 10 and Winchester Model 1912?
If I find good deals on them, sure. They’d be the civilian ones. I can’t afford that many rare trench gun subvariants

old guns are beautiful
This and the Spas 12 are my dream shotguns....
There's something about the short receiver and exposed hammer which makes the 1897 so especially elegant.
That makes the whole shotgun more special than other shotgun nowadays.
I was worried for a second you weren't gonna do a slam fire run. I was not disappointed, good stuff!
"There's only 10 more seconds in the video, how's he gonna shoot that many sh--"

"Don't be afraid Jhon"
When you loaded it up a second time, I knew what was coming 😄
Great video, thanks for posting!
You handled the slamfire like a champ.
Good stuff!
It was target loads after all
That’s a gorgeous piece of history
I like this gun’s personality a lot. Like an old timey slim framed ranch worker who knows how to throw powerful punches.
What every home defense shotgun SHOULD be.
I love how you know that we’d want to see things like slam fire and garand ping and include them in your videos too

Ah man this is now my favorite shotgun video on TH-cam.
I have an original 1897 in 12 gauge it's a 30 inch barrel model made in 1903 still runs like a dream

It’s a repro ;)
you blessed us with that slam fire
