My real problem is that I also purchased a new stripped carrier and transferred the guts from old to new during the sear install. Additional disassembly of the model 1897 may become achieved by very first removing the 2 butt-plate screws (79) and the buttplate (80) (not shown). ![]() Well, after some head scratching and eyeballing and some great files from Wheeler Engineering it was done. There are some great videos on disassembly and the like but nothing on replacing or fitting the sear. Well to start, I have had a few shotguns over the years but this gun is intriguing. ![]() Not sure it could be repaired, but think it.
