What's your point? In last local election non of the candidates I voted for won, not even Attorney General candidate. The only upside is I no longer have to vote because in my county I'm probably outnumbered 10:1.
The Republican elites that have imput in who runs need to be shown the door. Their last choice for governor was Afro woman with inadequate credentials to face her opponent. She had about 1% to 2% chance of winning.
I'm expecting assault weapon ban w/o grandfathering, no mail ammo sales, paperwork extended to gun parts like barrels, slides, massive amount of paperwork and training requirements to buy a gun,....
I can honestly say I dont give a shıt, fụck everything and I'm not moving.
Being far away from home I'm buying this sight unseen based on imput from trusted salesman at LGS. It's original shape 16ga Model 97 28" Full 2&9/16" chamber, no wood cracks, no dents rust or pitting, screws in perfect shape. Price <$500 which is great because almost every time I go shopping I'm paying more for almost everything. This put smile on my face and now I almost never 😁.
PS, I apologize for stupid question of course it's fine to shoot light 1oz 2&3/4" lead shells out of it. It probably hasn't seen short shell since early 1930s.

I am just wondering, Jagermeister- your location says W KNIEI. Where is that, if I may ask? Is there any way you can get a reloader and just reload your own? It would save you a lot of money in the long run. And watch out for mashing your thumb on the gun. 😊 Good luck.

I live in wooded area of Virginia. I love this place the weather is nice, lots of history and very accepting, tolerant, open-minded "square-headed" Democratic neighbors.

solve problem...

have chamber opened to 2 3/4 "...

shoot 0ne ounce field loads, 1200 fps or less...

I will solve that problem if they mandate non-tox for shotgun hunting. I will have chamber lengthened to 70mm and choke opened up to light modified.

Jager: there is no concern about the slight rise in pressure using standard 2 3/4" shells in a 16g M97.
The problem is that 2 3/4" shells will often hang up in the ejection port, which will need to be modified.
OTOH nominally 2 3/4" modern 16g shells are often shorter than 2 3/4". The old black Rem. Game Loads were, but not anymore. Aquila 1 oz. were reported to be short, but components change.

Winchester Super-X 16g 1 oz 1165 fps in 2023 67 mm

I saw those as well. If I remember right, they were all #9 shot.

old remington shur shot, green and orange box are short, as well...

Yes or shoot the 2 3/4 peters paper shells.

Thanks all, it turns out the gun is E series from 1939. The shop employee attached short chamber warning notice to wrong firearm. I can get shells from closest source Walmart 10min away.
