BADBRU

in regards to the model 1897 winchester
"It has a magazine release button on it that allows the entire tubular magazine to be emptied in the blink of an eye. A safety feature oddly absent on all modern shotguns. The only way to unload tube magazine shotguns is by manually working the slide or action, which can result in an accidentally discharge if you are the village idiot... or just unlucky."
Something many people don't know....In most modern shotguns if you depress the shell stop with your finger (little arm inside of the reciever that hold the shell in the tube) it will spit out one live round at a time. I have had to do with many many times with the remington 870 when the action's got stuck shut but there were still lives rounds in the chamber.
