Winchester 1897 / Model 12 - Trench Gun Mag Tube Plug For Heat Shield Use
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 - you need standard takedown plug model 97 screws. Note: 6-32 thread Model 12 screws may need to be replaced with model 97 8-32 screws.
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. No other plugs like these are on the market and ready for all applications.
Note, you truly want to use one of these plugs compared to the standard takedown plug, as it 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.
