I have a standard Model 97 that was made in 1917. It has a 30" barrel and full choke. There is a small metal tab attached to the magazine tube which prevents the shotgun from being broken down. When the magazine tube has been rotated and detached from the receiver this tab prevents the magazine from being moved far enough forward for it to clear the receiver, thus preventing the magazine and barrel assembly from being rotated and the barrel from being removed.
Does anyone know if this is a factory modification or why it would have been done?
