"COME ON YA LAZY BASTARD" Whether brandished by Lee Marvin in “The Professionals” or wielded by William Holden in “The Wild Bunch,” the Winchester Model 97 Riot Gun is an “Iconic symbol” of those wild old days and sought after by those on both sides of the badge. Favored by early 20th century law-enforcement agencies. Winchester offered it's Model 1897 as a Riot Gun . There was no trigger disconnector which meant that by holding the trigger back the gun could be slam-fired as fast as the pump could be worked. With the ’97s standard five-round-capacity tubular magazine and a sixth shell in the chamber, the Riot Gun was a formidable arm indeed. The Riot Gun was used by law enforcement groups as diverse as the Texas Rangers, the Union Pacific Railroad and various express companies, which favors these fast-shooting, jam-resistant smooth bores. Some longer-barreled sporting models had their tubes trimmed to riot-gun length. As shown here. This take down version has a 18 inch barrel. The stock has no breaks, cracks or repair. This shotgun is one of the better ones I have offered. The wood shows a very few minor dings on the stock, and stands ready for the day when it is again called to duty. It shows original finish on both blue and stock finish, along with the original gutta-percha butt-plate. The bore is bright and shinnying fuctions as it should.
