My new to me 1906 manufactured winchester 1897 has a problem. When I pop out the takedown pin and rotate the magazine tube it fails to extracate itself from the receiver body. More aptly said.. it's stuck. It moves a fraction of an inch. when rotated back there is no movement.
It also came with what at first appeared to be a riot barrel. Further I made perhaps an interesting discovery. My riot barrel appears to be modified for a heatshield and bayonet lug attachment? I've attached pictures of the barrel along with the various markings in order to help with identification.
Here she is in her glory
