Awhile back I got a smoking deal on a Winchester WWII 1897 Trench Gun Shotgun and realized I needed a Winchester 1897 Riot gun to complete the collection. Unfortunately every one I looked at was north of $2000 plus and I did not need it that badly. My builder suggested doing a clone and I found a proper serial number shotgun for $425. Once engraved it is about as good as it gets for my price point. The 1897 Riot Gun was used in Korea and Vietnam as well as WWI and WWII. It has a long and glorious military history. Here are some pics.
