Thanks. Yep it's real. I'll have to wait till I get home tonight to post the serial number and year. I've had it reblued and the wood is aftermarket, but it's got the US Armory stamp on the left side of the reciever. And on the barrel IIRC. My dad had cut the stock short to put a kickpad on it, so I got rid of the original wood when I fixed it up. Which was a bummer because there was an Armory stamp on the stock also.

BTW, the value of original 97's have gone way up with the popularity of cowboy action shooting. You might see how much yours is worth before you change it. Mine was scratched to hell and had lost a lot of bluing, so I didn't worry about it when I fixed mine up.

ROTFLOL!

Personally, I think posting on a public BBS of "what you have" could possibly lead to home break-in's in the future. So lets just say I have weapons.

Well, I can remember telling someone at school that we had 21 guns, and that 2 were collectibles. Not 3 weeks went by and someone broke into our house and stole 11 of them, including a Parker 1911 side-by-side. Luckily they left the 1878 .45-70...

That's cool, Ripsnort. I'm sure the felons would be glad to steal your BMW (with matching garage carpet) that you've posted about many, many times in lieu of your collection of firearms.

The BMW is new...take it..its insured. The guns, priceless since they're handed down within family....but I wouldn't expect you to know family values..
