I am looking for an old Winchester riot gun. I want the genuine article in an excellent condition, not a Norinco knockoff. I don't want to pay the going rate for a trench gun, though an aftermarket reproduction heat shield seems like a good idea. My field gun is a 1957 28" modified choke M12, and I have toyed with the idea of fitting it with an extra 20" front end, but NOS factory receiver extensions have dried up. Since I will be shooting this gun a lot, I am contemplating the durability advantages of the solid frame M97. What other factors should I consider?
