Talk:Winchester Model 1897
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Trench Guns
While I appreciate the contributions, the Model 12 did not replace the model 1897. There were lots of them, but many 97's were also used years after you state. There were also a few Ithacas, a few Remingtons, lots of Stevens of various models, and probably others. The Model 12 never replaced the model 1897.--Asams10 17:21, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Slam fire
I'm not sure, but I have read M97s made before 1975 had slam fire. Slamfire is a feature that allowed the racking of the slide to discharge rounds so long as the trigger was depresed. Dose anyone know about this?
