Winchester 97 Trench gun part needed

I know I'm probably hoping for the impossible, but it would be crazy not to ask. I'm helping a friend rebuild his original trench gun. We need an original magazine tube. Is there any hope?

Comments? Advice? Snickers?

Thanks

Someone recently parted out a '97 Trench gun on Ebay. They did offer the tube, but I don't recall what it went for. The somewhat battered shield/bayo mnt went for over $140 and the barrel for only slightly less.

Gun parts lists the tube as available for $69.95, is a original worth a 130% premium on a gun that's still a clone anyway? That's a 100% personal decision. The only guy whose opinion is right is the guy who'se wallet is opening. To me it wasn't, I stopped bidding on the shield when it when over the cost of a replacement.

$140 for the tube doesn't sound too bad when compared with what you'd have when the project is completed!

what you will have is still a put together clone, that isn't going to be real, or a collector's military gun...... with NUMRICH selling replacement tubes, and the sheild/bayonet for 105 bucks. that would be the way to go, but like BuffaloGun, just depends on the person.
