97 riot gun,but not military

[Bob K]

I can't find any forums dealing with old railroad weapons so I thought I'd share pics here. Anybody else have pics of RR shotguns?

Only RR weapon that comes to mind was a 22lr rifle that had its own wooden travelling box, which also contained a slot for a supressor (most likely a Maxim). Barrel threaded, front sight moved back. Apparently used for "pest" control.

Did see an Iron foundry riot gun recently.

I did a quick look and here is a neat RR history sight, but I only saw several shotguns and not a 97, but did not look at all of the sight. It is very interesting and worth a look at the history.

Thanks Rob. I already checked out that sight, but didn't find any more pics of RR marked shotguns.
