Who cares?

In fact, the bottom gun appears to have an incorrect magazine tube, to go along with the incorrect barrel.

Bruce,
You are supposed to be a serious guy on this Forum
And you make the comment "who cares"
Pretty classy response!
David
Do your homework regarding these late M97 trench guns ....how many have you seen and checked regarding the existence of these barrel notches.
These were riot gun barrels used on late trench guns.

The mag tube is not correct.
You have been up here for a while doing anything you can to validate your guns. Not working.
And you don't know me personally, don't use my name.

Based on the suggestion that the magazine tube was not correct, I sent the four photos shown above to Bruce Canfield for his opinion.
These were his comments;
"It's really difficult to properly evaluate a gun without a detailed physical examination. That being said, I didn't see anything on the photos that ran up any particular "red flags.:"

Subject: Bruce, does this late M97 trench gun magazine tube look correct to you?

As far as the existence of barrel notches found on some late M97 trench guns that have filled in front bead sights, I received this comment from another collector.
David,
I inquired of another US Military shotgun collector I know, and he told me that he has a couple of late M97 trench guns with the plugged sight holes and the notches in the barrels. He also has a take-off barrel with the plugged sight and the notches. So, that feature (i.e., the notches) on these plugged sight hole barrels is not abnormal.
