Ok, I'm gonna throw this out there. I don't know if the gun is a shooter, or if the receiver being cracked there means it has stress cracks elsewhere but why not weld it? Would the receiver be able to hold up a against a low voltage mig gun without blowing through? I don't see what it would hurt unless the material wouldn't hold up to it. There a smaller welds holding more pressure than that. Grind it smooth, sand it, boom fixed.
Cool gun anyway op Eta: why did it crack? That seems kinda substantial, and in a weak spot of the receiver, so what exactly caused it to happen? |

Didn't look very close at the pictures. Didn't realize it was a taken down so no fun for me. If it was a takedown you push the pin in the end of the mag tube down and rotate the tube using the pin. Then turn barrel 90°. |

You might be able to salvage parts. Aloha, Mark |

that my friend can be fixed. my grandfather fixed several of those guns over the years.
a good gunsmith can do wonders. fix it, chop it and blue it. |

I ran across a 1893 today at an estate sale. They wouldn't sell it to me.
|

The Winchester 1893 shotgun is not approved for general SASS match usage. Thus, I wouldn't buy it it I were you. They are said to be weak.
Aloha, Mark |

I'm not digging mine out of the safe to see - but where does the bolt lock up? In the front or the rear? If in the front why would welding up the rear be an issue?
I wonder how in the world someone managed to do that to a M97. They are pretty stout guns. Anything that heavy that kicks as hard as they do (at least mine does) should be damn near indestructible. I used to think my M37 Ithaca kicked, till I took my M97 squirrel hunting a couple of times. |

Aloha, Mark View Quote From my reading it's not that they are weak it's that they were designed for black powder and can't take the abuse caused by modern smokeless powder. |

Sounds like it and now he's complaining. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Please....... I paid almost a whole $7.00 for it. I was in a gun shop the house passed I followed the seller out the door. I bought two shotguns, and a .22 S-L-LR (yes i know) bolt action Remington 33. The other shotgun was a break top Harrington & Richards " Ray State" 12 guage. Yes I did buy it cracked. Wouldn't you? |

At $7 it's a no brainer. So YES, in a New York minuet.
I have three TD models and mostly I see TD models at SASS matches. But, I know some SASS shooters might be able to use the parts. Soild frame models are out there too. But, I hardly see them. Aloha, Mark |

For $7.00 I would have bought it. I bought a stevens 620 for $70 once just to get some cheap parts and sell what I didn't want/need. The stripped receiver itself sold for $80. |

$7 isn't much fishing money.
But that's a good price for a toy even if you don't weld it back to shooting form. |

I would try to find parts for it. View Quote Parts are all there. After taking it down and cleaning all the black gummy tar like substance out of it, I think it can be salvaged by an experienced welder. Still trying to figure out what the black tar was. It was seizing the action something fierce. |

I'm now looking locally for a good TIG welder.
I'm gonna fix it. Local cheap bastards didn't want it. |
|
Hell yea, save that old shotgun! Weld on some gears and springs and wrap some copper wire around it and make a Steampunk shotgun
I've got one I'm thinking about sending off to have hard chromed into a Cowboy Pimp gun, or make a trench gun with a shround and some parkerizing. |
