As title states I'd like to know where to buy good used, or new, parts for the old girl.
In particular need of factory stock, either used or semi inleted, and a shorter(than 30") barrel. And sure to be other parts after I get inside.
Any suggestions and/or directions concerning the before mentioned would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hey Dave, look at the milsurp parts places. Up until the 70s, M97 stocks, forearms and other parts were stocked by the military for riot guns and may have been sold off. In the late 70s, they replaced the older guns with M1200 Winchester riot guns as I ordered one to guard my shop in Georgia and got a new M1200 complete with bayonet.

Me and another friend were browsing parts in a supply at Ft Bragg and found loads of M97 stocks and forends as well as M12 parts and Ithaca 37 parts.

So, that stuff got sold off to some parts dealer. You'll find it./beagle

Matter of fact if you look close at my avitar I shot those birds with a 1897 built in 1917.
