Thanks Tom - You obviously have a been a student of these weapons a while and just the guy someone like me would need to know. All these years of owning my M97 have never peaked my interest more than now. I guess the older I get the more I appreciate. Anyway, I'm think I'm more inclined to leave my M97 in it's original condition rather than converting it, although it's remains a bit tempting. However, nothing will be done to it other than usual attention and care of it in it's current condition at the moment.

I'd like to acquire some spare parts and was thinking of an extra extractor, ejector, sear and trigger spring. If you could suggest or advise anything please let me know. It's always functioned fine the few times I've taken it out including occasional slam firing but hesitate to subject it to that type of abuse anymore.

Best,

Dick
