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.
