Item Name: FS/FT 1897 Winchester 16GA $400
Location: Alpharetta
Zip Code: 30005
Item is for: Sale or Trade
Sale Price: $400
Trade Value or Items Looking For: .LCPII plus cash
Caliber: 16 GA
Willing to Ship: No
Bill of Sale Required?: No
Item Description: This little beauty was manufactured in 1916 ( 2 3/4" chamber); it has a 20" barrel which would have been standard but it's marked "full" which makes me think it was cut down from a 30". The barrel and action have a smooth even patina with no rust or pitting. I believe all the wood is original but the plastic "Winchester" butt plate is a later replacement. There's a repaired crack in the forestock but no cracks in the wrist or butt; all wood to metal fitting is tight and clean. The front bead had been replaced with a TruGlow but now just has small brass screwhead. I just ran two boxes through it and it functions perfectly.
