New production Winchester 1897/97 takedown and solid frame(non-takedown) or Winchester Model 12*** Mag tube plugs for Trench Gun with heat shield use.
Available in a Black oxide finish. No screws included - Winchester Model 97 Mag Plug screws required, read below.
This will work in the originally designed solid frame models and takedown models because the screw hole is tapped from both sides. Therefore, it will work with the solid frame singular long screw pictured or the takedown two short screw design as pictured. The same goes for Model 12 use. There is no other comparable designed plug on the market that is ready for all applications.
Note, for Trench Gun builds, you truly want to use one of these plugs compared to the standard takedown plug. This plug actually connects the mag tube to the heat shield, through the tip at the end of the plug and a recess in the back of the heat shield. This ensures a rigid alignment and support of the mag tube(results in a slicker action) and gives you the closest look to an authentic Trench Gun.
Expect light fitting of this piece or the mag tube for the screw install. You may need to egg out some of the magazine tube screw holes for perfect assembly. Also, the threads are tapped 8-32 like the standard screws, encase you need to perform thread repair.
***Model 12 Users - Some model 12 plug screws are 6-32 instead of 8-32. You will need to purchase Winchester 97 8-32 plug screws to use this plug. Both thread screw sizes have identical head dimensions and are compatible with the plug and your mag tube. Some model 12 users have also needed to dress the internal body of the plug down to fit in their mag tube.
