I watched a show the other night with Arnold shwarts ???? in it and he was doing some serious pain with one just like it.

Is that a pump with a hammer? Is the old gun a security system or do you hunt with it?
Is that a Model 97 winchester. If so you should be VERY careful about setting is down with a round in the chamber, even if it's not cocked it can fire and hurt someone. Don't ask how I know, just take my word for it.

Yes mnm it's an old 97 winchester it has a 20 in barrel that is marked full choke and yes i do hunt with it she is good on grouse.3way the spring in the bottom of the action has been fixed to prevent it from going off.mnmtranching":2yentoda said:

Rattler, that is a dandy old shotgun. sure wouldn't mind having one like that.
How are things looking up for the Fall hunting adventures? Got a couple good bucks around? How about the grouse? You must have some ruffed around there?

My favorite is my dad's 16 gauge. I'm not a shotgun expert but it's really old and he calls it a "something sweet 16" I can't remember the exact name but I think it's from Belgium. It really is a beautiful gun. He says it's a collector gun, I guess so.

Probably a Browning. They quit making the "Sweet 16" in Belgium in the mid to early 70's and started back making them in Japan in the late 70's as I recall. I got one of each. Very nice. I am partial to Brownings but like the Model 12 Winchesters and love my Ithaca M37.
I always want one of those Model 97 Winchesters. I know a man that had a WW1 trench gun. This make me want to call him up and offer more for it this time.

I've got a Ithaca 37 that my Grandpa bought new in 1946. Definately my favorite shotgun.
Not a shotgun, but I've also got my other Grandpa's Remington model 12 pump 22, from the early 1900's with an octagon barrel. Really cool gun.

I inherited a W.P. Wonder 12 GA single shot from my father. Research indicated it was made around 1900 to 1910 and possibly sold for about $12. Hanging on a wall. Definitely not something I'd want to take a chance on shooting! LOL!
Otherwise, ANY shotgun that fires 100% of the time would be my favorate.

The one I turkey hunt with is a Rem sportsman 48 12 ga with a 30" barrel
the one I like the best is a winchester lever action 12ga with a 32 or 34" barrel made in 1886 that my mom has
