Winchester 1897 Trench Gun
We have carefully recreated the famous Winchester Model 1897 12 Ga Trench Gun using original Winchester Model 1897 12 Ga shotguns. We buy decent used Winchester shotguns which are then totally torn down, cleaned, worn parts replaced, re-blued, reassembled and tested for proper function. We add a nice reproduction bayonet lug/heat shield and rear sling swivel. When finished these are an excellent representation of the original factory guns, ready for display or use.
These guns take the 1913/1917 bayonet used on the US Model 1917 Rifle and British P14.
$1897 plus $55 S&H (as of 09/01/25).....THIS PRICE COULD CHANGE BASED ON THE AVERAGE PRICE THAT THE BASE GUNS COST US)
UPDATE: Sept 15, 2025 Shields are currently in stock. We should stay pretty close to our stated 6 week turn around. . . Contact us for shipping instructions.

BAYONETS: Trench guns only accept the 1913 British and 1917 US bayonets. Most of the surplus bayonets you'll find will have damage to the pommels from being used as a hammer etc. If you purchase a trench gun from us and you send us your bayonet we will clean up the "T" slot in the pommel to fit correctly at no charge to you. This service DOES NOT APPLY to the modern reproduction bayonets. We don't even offer to fit them . (yes, they're that bad)
FAKE ARSENAL STAMPS: Plain and simple...we DON'T do them, please don't ask.
