TRENCH GUN CONVERSIONS are available. For Winchester and IAC/Norinco 1897’s, the price for the conversion, including the heat shield and labor, is unable to be quoted due to the lack of availability of the heat shield/bayonet lugs. Feel free to email an inquiry concerning parts availability and pricing.

Take down models will require a different magazine plug and screw which will be added to the price.  Some of the items that figure into that amount include cutting and crowning the barrel, action work to include cleaning and inspection of parts, some modifications if required, cutting notches in barrel for the heat shield, the heat shield/bayonet lug and screws, inlaying sling swivel in butt stock, misc parts, ensure action works correctly after heat shield is installed, test fire the gun with live ammo.
