M1897 Trench Gun

Not sure if falls under 'US Rifles' or 'Asian Firearms' as it's one of the IAC/Norinco imports. Anyhow, photos:

Group shots with my other US gear, the other rifles are pictured in their own threads in this subforum.

Lastly, a youtube video detailing this shotgun. The action is a bit rough but it was new-in-box so I'm hoping it will smooth out with continued use. It is quite a fun shooter!

The Jerries hated that 1897 scattergun in WWI since the 'gyrines used it to telling effect in the trenches. They protested and we said TUFF! :D
