Thought about form 1ing this, it's been reblued, few rust pits. Thoughts?

Leave it or cut it to 18 1/2" and put a bead on the front. I don't think it's worth a couple inches for all the fuss

15" looks good to me. Last efile I done was 14days. Rock on.

Find yourself a nice slam fire Ithaca 37 and when your Stamp arrives have it cut to 13 inches.

Or just do a 870 like everyone else.

Dude make NFA weird again stamp that B and have fun with it.

I haven't seen a 1897 papered yet, so it would be a cool one to add to the collection.

IMHO The 1897 looks overly complicated mechanically probably wise to sell.
