Oh, now I know why you chop all your barrels short.  Gotta fit all your gear in a mini-cooper.   ;D

I really liked the little minis that had the two side by side doors on the back that opened up in the middle.  Never saw many of those.

I would hope the first things you'd were to have the Chamber re-cut 20 a correct 2 3/4 and have the forcing cone extended.

But Coffinmaker, as we get older aren't we supposed to have a second childhood, or something like that?  You know, buy a 'Vette, etc. ?  :)

 :)  HARUMPFF  ;)

At one time in my Misspent youth, I actually admit to being an aficionado of the ubiquitous 1897.  I had five of the things.  I also admit, at the time I was chasing the Brass Ring and ALL the really FAST dudes were shooting the '97.  Mine were ALL OEM Winchester take-down, cut to Eighteen and a Quarter inch barrel, Recoil Pac onna stock, re-chambered to true 2 3/4 with the forcing cone extended.  Like Abilene, I found them to be really really really FUN!!

My Winchesters were not prone to failure (except the ejector spring) but I did rotate them in service to extend their service life.  Really FUN guns.  HOWEVER:

NOT.  And I repeat NOT Cowboy.  Nope no way.  So, as I became more "seasoned" and exited the race for the Brass Ring, I elected I should become more and more "Cowboy."  Exit the 97s.  Also exit that Heathen Fad Smokeless Propellant.  Enter the Hammer Double.  Hammer Double is a separate thread.  Burma Shave

Less than two weeks to go. The weather looks pretty good, forecast is for mid 60's to low 70's with low rain chances. A reminder that we'll be providing a grill for Sat. night, bring what you like. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

The third gun sits in your guncart as a spare for the one you're shooting... ;)
If you really really really like something you better get 3.
Because 3 is 2
And 2 is 1

And if you really really really really like something, i guarentee they will stop making it.

Forget who said that…..
