1897 Winchester What?

[Rubicon2003]

Found a show for $500 .I don’t think it’s a trench.Cause no rear sling swivel and barrel clamp on it.And two numbers on bottom don’t match

A lot of folks around here can spot fakes by how the marks look.
I'm not one of them...but for $500, I'd definitely buy it. It's neat even if it is fake and you couldn't assemble a replica yourself for that price!

I agree, I'd take it for $500...and a mix and match wouldn't be a surprise.
