Win 1897 heat shield & bayo lug

[ashikie_]

I'm thinking about adding a heat shield and a bayo lug combo to my Win 1897. Has anyone done this before? Is it a complicated process, or pretty straightforward?

This isn't just a simple plug and play situation. You might find yourself having to carve out some grooves in the barrel to get that heat shield to sit right. It requires a steady hand and the right tools. If you’re into light gunsmithing and have access to a drill press or some good files, you can definitely handle it. But if you’re looking for that clean, pro look, take your time with it. Or better yet, maybe think about getting a pro to take care of it for you.
