notice all original 97 shotguns have short chambers
please have your chamber length checked before shooting your 1897.
I can measure you chamber and lengthen it to 2 3/4 inch also ream a longer forcing cone. the forcing cone is at the end of the chamber it's like a funnel. and the longer the cone the less felt recoil better shot pattern and reduced pressures on your gun. 
for more info about chamber length call us !!!

 


The Squibber Action job on 1897 shotguns are used by some of the most recognized cowboy action shooters  like Rattler John, Longhunter, JT Wild, Diamond Jim Bandy, Squibber, Hells comin
and Solicitor General, just to mention a few. 
We put one of our 97's through a grueling 20,000 round torture test with no mechanical failures, 
and is currently being used by Rattler  John as his primary shotgun.
