I dunno Perry. I never saw it. He was shooting a Rem. M11 16 ga. by the time I came along. That's just what Mr. Starr Smith told me. He coulda' shot it empty and thrown one in the chamber, I guess. In hindsight, Mr. Starr might not have said anything about "the remaining six shells". Been a long time ago. I'm sure about the 13 birds number, though.

I thought '97s held one in the chamber and 6 in the tube. But, I've never owned one.
