Description:
This is Norinco's tribute to John Moses Browning’s model of 1893, the first ever pump or slide action shotgun. This shotgun was manufactured in China and imported by Interstate Arms in Massachusetts. We have sold a good many of its mates locally over the past 20 years, and they are fine shotguns. This model is the 93 / 97, so designed and so stamped to keep its approved status for Cowboy Action shooting. The copy is better than the original, due to advances in metallurgy. There are no more of the 97 Trench Guns to be had. All metal finish is faithful streaked bright blue. M&P Buttstock and traditional corn cob forend are 100% genuine American Walnut, just like the originals. Barrel is 20 inch cylinder bore, and capacity is 4 + 1 shells, 2 3/4 inch only. Weight is 6 1/2 pounds empty, and safety mechanism is a single action type hammer on the order of the original 1897 Winchesters. Design differences between this copy and the originals are minor. The magazine tube secures with a split ring removable barrel lug. Unlike the original, this 93 / 97 has a disconnector mechanism; after each shot, the operator has to release the trigger; you can’t hold the trigger down and fire it simply by cycling the slide like you could an original 97 or old model Ithaca 37. No owners of these that we know of have held their right hand too high more than once; the bolt will bite you if you don’t hold that trigger hand low. The 1893 and successor 1897 were, of course, the platform for the 1897 Trench Gun of World War I. This specimen is one that we sold locally here in West Tennessee. Surface detractions are minimal, principally operation whitening on the magazine tube and faint amounts of dulling to the oil finish on the stock. We rate it as Excellent, 90 percent vicinity by our estimate, but photos ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. From its condition and from our knowledge of its exclusive owner, it has been fired fewer than 100 times. Bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright and clean. It comes in its original box. As it presently stands, there will be no more of these or of the 93 Norincos coming in for at least Three More Years. Replacement pricing on a mint condition original Winchester would probably approach $5,000.00. The Interstate 97T Trench Gun copies are now fetching $600 apiece in some places. This one can be fitted with an original Trench Gun shield for about $125.00. We’re offering the 1893 / 97 in the photos, however, for only $ 439.00. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> $20 flat fee lower 48 states; $60 Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico, UPS Ground or USPS Priority with full insurance coverage.
