Hi Guys,

Picked up a 97 at a good price, 12gauge, 30 in tube.
Number on frame is 603***.
Number  just above this one on barell/mag ring is 244***.
What's up with this?

Thanks Guys

non-matching serial numbers... not that uncommon in the old winchesters... just means the gun came with a different barrel from the factory.  generally lowers the value somewhat for collecting...
