I can't believe an old bottom eject cornsheller doesn't get a second look here. So I will be the first. Nice gun. Never seen those in a takedown.

I had a rare 36" barrel 97' that now resides in one of my friends collections I sold to him once when I was hard up to make a land payment. He said he was going to hold it until I retire for being stupid selling it to him. I'm gonna get that sucker back one day.

Seems that's the way it is nowadays...everybody wants latest and greatest and generally the old stuff is overlooked.
They're fun guns even shooting normal but slam fire gives it that extra giggle when you're goofing around.

Yea I have a model 12 also in the general time frame. Someone put a aftermarket kick pad and trimmed the butt stock down. Kinda a eye sore but it is what it is.

I have one like that. I can't recall the model offhand, but there were two versions, and mine is the version for which it's harder to find parts. One of those hard to find parts is in the fire control group, so mine's just a wall hanger. Or, as Ollie North's company commander in Vietnam once told him, a perfectly fine club.
