Winchester Model 1893 shotgun
« on: October 22, 2007, 11:33:07 AM »
Does anyone have ant experience with this shotgun ?  I know it was replaced with the model 1897.  My concern is that it does not have an action release function and it seems that I can open the action even with the hammer fully cocked.  I know it was designed for Black-powder.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS TYPICAL LOCK-UP AND CAN IT BE FIRED WITH BLACK-POWDER OR SIMILAR LOW PRESSURE MODERN LOADS?
