It weighs same as steel framed 20ga Ohio-made Ithaca 37 or 20ga Browning BPS. That's good because there are many tiny parts making up that receiver and 12ga parts should be easy to find. At least it doesn't look goofy like early 20ga Wingmaster in 12ga frame.

I shot a 12 and 16 Mod. 97 for several years, mostly the 16, and I never got cut. NRA Benefactor 2008 NRA Patron 2007 NRA Endowment 1996 NRA Life 1988

To me, a 16 gauge barrel screwed onto a heavy 12 gauge gun is no prize. And I like Winchester 97's. Tim Son just where in this picture would you like to be?

Are you sure that's a 1939 gun? I believe Winchester transitioned to the longer chamber in the late 20s. Tim Son just where in this picture would you like to be?
