**HOLD** SMOF8045 - 2795 - SIG SAUER "MOSQUITO" .22 LR SEMI AUTO PISTOL- NEW IN BOX Serial number F124419 from an estate. Appears to be new in the box and never fired by the previous owner.

The SIG Sauer Mosquito made from 2003 t0 2013 is a blowback pistol, aesthetically based on the SIG Sauer P226, but 10% smaller in size and chambered for the .22 LR cartridge. The pistol uses an aluminum-zinc alloy slide and polymer frame. The controls are similar to those on the P226 including (from front to rear) a left takedown lever, a left decocking lever, reversible magazine catch and ambidextrous manual safety. In addition, the pistol is provided with an integral safety lock located at the rear of the magazine well which when enabled prevents cycling of slide, hammer fall, and trigger action/

User reviews for these are mixed, but problems mainly seen to be ammo related with CCI MiniMags being very reliable and some others not feeding well. Polishing the feed ramp seems to solve most of the problems, but there are some videos and forum posts going into more detail.

In any case, this is a low cost, low recoil trainer to enhance proficiency with the P226 or similar models.

This is AS NEW condition and highly collectible as such. Comes with one magazine, in the original factory plastic case with the paperwork. $225.00 (View Picture)

SMOF8048 - 2799- SMITH & WESSON MODEL 28-2 HIGHWAY PATROLMAN IN 357 MAGNUM Serial Number N511780 with 6 Inch Barrel. The Model 28, also known as the Highway Patrolman, traces its heritage back to the Smith & Wesson Registered Magnum which morphed into the Model 27. In the late 1940s and the first part of the 1950s Smith and Wesson was the only American gun company manufacturing a .357 magnum revolver. Since that relatively deluxe model was the only revolver available for this cartridge at the time, police departments, as well as individual officers and private shooters, requested from Smith and Wesson a more affordable utilitarian .357 magnum revolver. S&W responded with the Highway Patrolman (later renamed the Model 28 in 1957). Mechanically the Highway Patrolman is the same as the more ornate Model 27, but with a less costly service grade finish. A classic N frame revolver, the Highway Patrolman is blued, but does not have the high polish finish, saving labor costs. The top strap and frame rounds are bead blasted to achieve a matte appearance. This is one of the earlier and more desirable guns with a pinned barrel, made circa 1975-1977.? The pistol is in excellent condition with 98% original blue and an excellent bore. $650.00 (View Picture)

**HOLD** SMOF8064 - HIGH STANDARD MODEL A PISTOL SERIAL NUMBER 57178 MANUFACTURED IN 1940. CALIBER 22. The High Standard Firearms Company of New Haven, Connecticut made high quality .22 caliber target pistols for many years. The High Standard Model A is a significant piece of American firearms history, representing one of the company's first major steps into the dedicated target pistol market. It was introduced in the late 1930s and was designed to provide a higher level of accuracy and features than the earlier, more basic Model B. The Model A was produced between 1938 and 1942, with a total production run of approximately 7,300 units.

This pistol has the 4.75 inch barrel, it was manufactured in 1940. The pistol it retains about 95% of its original blueing. The bore is bright with excellent riflings. The pistol comes with an original "two- tone" magazine. Overall this pistol is a very nice example of the Model A. Because of its relatively short production run and high build quality, the Model A is highly sought after by collectors. $750.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7668 - 638 WALTHER PPK/S-1 MADE UNDER LICENSE BY SMITH & WESSON .380 ACP CALIBER STAINLESS STEEL SEMI AUTO PISTOL Serial number 3655BAH. Introduced in 1929, the Walther designed PP and PPK pistols have always been popular for their solid performance, great engineering and suitability for concealed carry by military, police and civilian users. The most famous user is of course, Bond, James Bond.

PP and PPK are basically the same gun, but the PPK used a shorter barrel and slide, and the frame was a bit shorter and lighter. The PPK/S-1 is a hybrid configuration with the short PPK barrel and the long frame of the PP, to mollify the idiotic demands of U.S. import laws. The PP/PPK have been made by several European makers, with variations in .22 Long Rifle, .32 ACP and .380 ACP and several in the U.S., which would be a nice collecting goal to get one of each, and they have also been made in blue steel or stainless. This one was made by Smith & Wesson in their plant in Houlton, Maine, under license from Walther between 2002 and2013. There was a recall on this model in 2009 for a hammer block problem, and this has had that corrected, as indicated by the punch mark in the hammer trough. Walther started a plant in Arkansas and is now making these for the U.S. market there. Excellent plus condition, showing no real signs of use, with two S&W made magazines, one with the finger rest, and one without. No box, just what you see in the photos. $650.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7733 - HIGH STANDARD HD MILITARY .22 LR - MANUFACTURED IN 1948. 6 3/4 INCH BARREL. Serial number 242800, made in 1948. The Hi-Standard HD Military was made from 1945 to 1950. Despite the name, this gun was not made for the Military, although some were used for military for training and for target work. In 1943 the U.S. Army issued High Standard a contract for the production of their Model HD pistol in slightly modified form as the USA-HD for use as training and recreational weapons. High Standard manufactured USA-HD pistols until the end of the war in 1945. Development of the HD-Military began in 1944, basically adapting the USA-HD for the civilian market with addition of adjustable rear sight and to offer the choice of 4 1/2 or 6 3/4-inch barrels. These were extremely popular guns, with a total of nearly 150,000 made, and the common comment from shooters is "They are fun to shoot and really accurate."

This is a handsome pistol, it retains about 96% + original finish with some finish wear on the sharp edges, and left side of the slide has some slight roughness that keeps it from being spectacular. Bore is shiny with strong lands and groves. Walnut grips are in excellent condition with just a couple of minor blemishes. Comes with one 10 round magazine. $495.00 (View Picture)

The grips are custom soft black rubber Pachmayr type along with a Pachmayr type rubber coated target style mainspring housing. The trigger is a custom adjustable target trigger and the magazine well has been beveled to facilitate quick magazine changes.

This is an nice target .45 caliber 1911A1 pistol that would be great for competitive shooting, self- defense, and / or recreational use. $650.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7863 - EXCELLENT REMINGTON MODEL 51 IN 380 SERIAL NUMBER PA48846 The Remington Model 51 was designed by John D. Pedersen prior to the First World War, he later went on to work with John Browning to design the Remington Model 17 which served as the basis for the Ithaca 37 shotgun and the Pedersen device that converted the M1903 Springfield into an auto loading intermediate-caliber weapon. The first patent application on the Remington Model 51 was filed in 1915.

One has only to hold the Remington 51 to feel its quality. The first thing you notice is how well the grip fits your hand which is the result of extensive testing with hand molds to determine the correct size and shape for the average hand. Similar effort went into calculating the correct grip angle to allow the gun to point naturally. Very few guns feel so much like an extension of the hand as does the Remington 51. W.H.B. Smith was quoted as saying: "With the sole exception of the Luger, and the new German Walther P38, the Walther PPK, Sauer-38 and Mauser HSc (all foreign developments) this Remington 51 is probably the best-balanced, most-instinctive-pointing pistol ever made." Some of the Remington advertising went so far as to describe the pistol as "self aiming." R.K. Wilson said the Remington 51 is "...in the opinion of many authorities, the best pocket self-loading pistol ever designed..."

The gun has three safeties: a thumb-operated safety, a grip safety, and a magazine safety. The grip safety locks the disconnector, locks the sear in the hammer notch, locks the slide, and serves two additional functions. Since the grip safety does not pop out unless the gun is cocked, it acts as a cocked weapon indicator. It also serves as a lock open device for the slide if it is engaged when the slide is retracted. Squeezing the grip safety with the slide locked open will cause the slide to close and, if a full magazine has been previously inserted, a round will be chambered. The thumb safety cannot be engaged unless the hammer is cocked, and when in the safe position it locks the grip safety so it cannot be disengaged.

This pistol is in very good to excellent condition and retains 90 - 95% of the original blue with some light edge wear. The grips have are very nice with no cracks or chips missing. The bore is shiny with strong lands and grooves but slightly near the chamber, it could use a good cleaning and may or may not clean up. It has with strong lands and groves. $725.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7898 - RUGER VAQUERO .45 COLT - 4 & 5/8 INCH BARREL, STAINLESS WITH ORIGINAL BOX AND PAPERS Serial number 513-50308 made in 2022. This seems to be new in the box, and comes in the original Ruger hard case with papers. A great imitation of the Colt Single Action but mechanically much improved with better springs, better material and workmanship, and safer transfer bar design for the firing mechanism. From an estate and we don?t think the former owner ever even fired it. Handsome the stainless steel with 4 & 5/8 inch barrel. $725.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7854 - - 1417 COLT ARMY SPECIAL DOUBLE ACTION REVOLVER IN .32- 20 WCF CALIBER Serial number 402042 made in 1915 according to Colt site. This has the 4 inch barrel with sharp bore, mostly bright but some pitting or maybe leading. Original hard rubber Colt grips, with one "notch" near the top of the left grip- and you can speculate as to what and why that is there. Metal finish is about 75% thinning original blue, with some assorted bumps and dings, but mainly holster wear. The .32-20 is a great caliber and this would be nice to have as a companion piece to a lever action rifle in the same caliber. Good mechanics.

The Army Special made from 1908 to 1927 was a great improvement on the earlier "New Army and New Navy Models" dating back to 1892 which were overly complicated and subject to breakage. The much improved Army Special was popular and reliable. In 1927 a marketing change resulted in it being renamed the "Official Police" to benefit from massive sales to police departments. It was the official police issue revolver for a great many police departments like the New York City and Boston Police Departments, and Federal agencies like the FBI and Treasury Department. The Official Police would serve as a prime police issue gun into the 1960s, and was highly favored by private guard services, industrial plant guards, and civilian gun owners wanting a powerful and strong revolver.

These were made with 4,5 or 6 inch barrels, in .22 long rifle, .32-20, .38 Special, .38-200 [.38 S&W] and .41 long Colt.

While not a minty gun, it is a good solid representative example of the evolution of the Colt double action revolver series. $449.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7460 - AMT (ARCADIA MACHINE & TOOL) BACK UP SERIAL NUMBER A39067 CALIBER 380 ACP The AMT 380 Backup is a small, semi-automatic pistol that was manufactured by the Arcadia Machine and Tool (AMT) company in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s. The pistol is designed for concealed carry and personal defense, and it is known for its small size, light weight, and reliable performance. These were manufactured from 1978 to 1993.

This pistol is chambered for the .380 ACP cartridge, which is a popular choice for self-defense due to its moderate stopping power and low recoil, it has a single-stack magazine that holds six rounds, and it features a double-action trigger that allows the shooter to fire the gun quickly and easily, the stainless steel slide and frame, make it resistant to corrosion and wear.

Overall, the AMT 380 Backup is a reliable and easy-to-use pistol that is well-suited for concealed carry and personal defense. Its small size and light weight make it easy to carry, while its simple design and reliable performance make it a dependable choice for self-defense situations. $350.00 (View Picture)

SMOF3571 - GLOCK MODEL 22 CHAMBERED IN 40 S&W SERIAL NUMBER CML339US. Glock pistols feature an excellent combination of reliability and accuracy. Their high- tech engineering and construction create a handgun that can stand up to the punishment of even the most unforgiving conditions. The Glock pistol`s Safe Action trigger system offers distinct benefits over conventional trigger systems, with increased smoothness and consistency. Glocks have almost 50% fewer components than conventional handguns of the same caliber. Glock handgun frames are made of a virtually indestructible synthetic that is stronger than steel, yet 86% lighter. Glock pistols can withstand temperatures ranging from -40 F to +158 F and still come out firing. Metal Glock components are finished with a unique surface treatment called Tenifer that makes those parts virtually as hard as a diamond and even more corrosion resistant than stainless steel. Glock handguns are designed with a natural grip angle that complements instinctive shooting. The ergonomic frame design features a bore axis and weight distribution that ensure a controlled shot, even under the most adverse conditions. The polymer frame gives a much softer recoil than that of conventional guns and the barrel has hammer-forged rifling for increased velocity and greater accuracy. Pistol is in excellent (like new) condition with a mirror bright bore. Comes with one Glock brand 10 round magazine. $495.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** SMOF8069 - WINCHESTER MODEL 94 SADDLE RING CARBINE IN 30-30 WINCHESTER SERIAL NUMBER 1023200, MANUFACTURED IN 1927. The Model 1894 lever action rifle is one of John M. Browning`s enduring legacy to hunters (and law enforcement) throughout the United States. It is the only gun design that we`re aware of that is still in production 108 years after the first one was made. Winchester needed a lever action

rifle capable of handling smokeless powder to compete with Marlin`s Model 1893. Browning turned out the design in two weeks, and nearly six million rifles later it`s still in production. The rifle was chambered in several calibers from 25-35 to 32 special. It could be ordered in rifle or carbine configuration with other fancy features such as takedown, pistol grip buttstock, shotgun buttplate, and fancy walnut.

This rifle is a handsome Pre-64 Winchester Model 94 carbine, the iconic rifle that generations of Americans have reached for when it was time to put meat on the table. Built in a time when men were craftsmen and pride was taken in a job well done. Savvy Winchester buyers will recognize that current production model 94`s are being manufactured in Japan by CNC machines, and can be bought for the princely sum of $1200 for an entry level model. The craftsmanship of the Pre-64 rifle cannot be denied. The pre-64 rifles are a collecting niche that has only grown with time, and these rifles are sure to increase in value

The Model 94 was originally chambered in black powder 32-40 and 38-55 Winchester. In 1895 Winchester changed the composition of the steel used in making the receivers, which resulted in the rifle design being able to tolerate pressures in the smokeless powder range. This resulted in the rifle being offered in the new 30-30 and 25-35 Winchester rounds, with the 32 Winchester Special following soon after.

The saddle ring carbine was phased out of standard production for the model 1894 rifle starting in 1928. By 1931, a special order was required to receive a saddle ring carbine. Saddle ring carbines are desired by collectors as they represent the earliest era of production for the model 1894.

This rifle is chambered in 30-30 Winchester. The wood is in above average condition for a rifle of this vintage. No unsightly additions, such a sling swivels, have been made to the stock. Rifling is strong, bore is in above average condition. Finish is mostly gone in the areas of typical use and handling, but is strong on the barrel and magazine. All together the finish would rate around 50%. This rifle would make a handsome addition to any Winchester or model 94 collection. $1250.00 (View Picture)

SMOF8082 - 2966 - PARKER BROTHERS 12 GAGE DOUBLE BARREL VH GRADE SHOTGUN MADE IN 1921 WITH 32 INCH BARRELS Serial number 195781, made in Meriden Connecticut with Vulcan steel barrels having 2 3/4" chambers. Bores are mirror bright. The 32 inch barrels are scarce as most guns were sold with 28" or 30" barrels. This is a nice example of the classic Parker Brothers double prized by sportsmen in the first half of the 20th century. Parkers were regarded as among the best quality American doubles, with a wonderfully tight lock up, well fitted stocks and beautiful lines which fit most shooter extremely well. Parkers were made in several grades with several options. The "VH" was their least expensive field grade gun, but having the same superb fit and mechanics as the more expensive models. The differences were mainly cosmetic in the amount of engraving, and quality of the wood, or optional features like automatic ejectors or single selective triggers

This gun has beautiful flame pattern grain on both sides of the butt, and I believe it was a special order upgrade on an otherwise standard VH grade gun. It is a well used, but not abused field gun which has the case hardened receiver finish aged to a smooth silver tone with only a couple of traces of color in protected areas. The blued barrels have some blue in the protected area along the ribs, but are mostly very thin blue or dull steel gray. 50% thinned blue. Thankfully, no one has altered this, so it has the original 32 inch barrel length and the butt is original length with the Parker Brothers buttplate, instead of being chopped off for a recoil pad. No cracks or chips or repairs to the wood, and only a few very minor scratches or dings in the original glossy finish. Buttplate has a small break at the upper screw but nothing missing. The Parker grip cap has a crack extending forward from the screw.

A really handsome, classic double gun ready to add some class to your collection. We sell all guns as collector items only and they must be approved by a competent gunsmith prior to firing, but we believe they will agree that this is a really nice gun for you to take afield. $1095.00 (View Picture)

SMOF8046 - 2796 - SPRINGFIELD ARMORY M1A HEAVY BARREL 7.62 X 51MM (.308) RIFLE (M14 TYPE) Serial number 010195 made in 1979 and sold as a barreled receiver (per Springfield customer service records). The M1A is a civilian semi-auto only clone of the Vietnam era M14 rifle used by U.S. armed forces in varying degrees from 1960s as the standard infantry rifle to the war in Afghanistan as a designated marksman rifle capable of hitting and stopping things at combat ranges beyond the Mickey Mouse 5.56mm capabilities.

Springfield Armory of Geneseo, IL has been making high quality M1A rifles since the early 1970s, both as copies of the standard M14 (less full auto capability) to variations in caliber, barrel length, barrel material, and especially barrel weight. The latter were aimed at the target shooter community where the "heavy barrel" was prized for use as a "service rifle" at Camp Perry. When this rifle was made in 1979, their heavy barrels were made by Douglas and have an excellent reputation. It is likely marked on the top of the barrel, but we did not do the detailed disassembly to get access to check that. There is almost no finish wear on the contact surfaces on the receiver, so I believe it has actually been fired very little. The previous owner did a lot of gunsmithing for service rifle shooters, and built this up with GI surplus parts with varying amounts of finish. Like the barrel and receiver the bolt (TRW) and trigger housing (HRA) are all about 98% or better. The flash hider and gas cylinder show a lot more wear with only about like 85% finish. The stock is an issued GI stock which I think is light colored walnut but may be some other species. It has a circle P proofmark on the face of the pistol grip, but no cartouche, which I think was some sort of ink stamp on M14s rather than the traditional stamping on the wood. The stock is not glass bedded, but a very snug fit to get the trigger guard to close (or open). Stock has original oil finish, and a couple of minor dings and one larger gouge on the left side by the floorplate. Excellent bright and sharp bore. This should be an excellent shooter (if approved by a competent gunsmith- we sell all guns as collector items only). It can also be used as a representative example of the iconic M14 rifle, although you might want to add one of the dummy selector switches. Because of the heavy barrel this weighs a pound or two more than a standard M14, but the weight is all in the part of the barrel hidden by the handguard so visually is looks like a standard M14. $1495.00 (View Picture)

SMOF8054 - 2797 - CUSTOM SPORTING RIFLE- LARGE RING MAUSER IN .30-06 WITH FLUTED BARREL AND 2.5-10X 40MM SCOPE Serial number 6288. Built on a Czech made VZ- 24 action by a highly skilled gunsmith, but we do not know the name, as this is an estate gun which came with limited information. The bolt has been modified to the classic Winchester Model 70 style handle for good looks and ease of operation, and the safety is also a Model 70 style The bolt body is beautifully polished and a tight engine turned or "jeweled" pattern with the rest of the bolt in a dull blue finish. Trigger is a high grade commercial trigger, not the every day Timney or Canjar, but something much nicer although we cannot identify the maker. The 25 inch barrel is heavy weight measuring 1.15"diameter at the breech tapering to .875" at the muzzle, and the actual weight is reduced by six flutes, which also add rigidity for better accuracy. Weight of the rifle (less scope) is 9 pounds, 10 ounces. Muzzle has a recessed crown. Barrel and receiver had a matte gray finish, probably some sort of phosphate. The fiberglass (possibly carbon fiber?) stock is an attractive classic sporter profile with woodland camouflage pattern finish and Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad. It comes with a Redfield Junior scope mount base and a Bushnell Elite series 2.5 to 10x variable scope with 40mm objective lens, and rings. Scope is covered by a lifetime warranty for any owner, and comes with the original box. Overall the rifle appears to be almost unfired and near new condition except for one small scrape on the barrel finish about 5" from the muzzle. Replacement cost if you ordered one like this today would probably be at least double our price. This is not Bubba`s basement butchery, but a fine custom rifle from a skilled craftsman. $950.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7490 - HANDSOME REMINGTON MODEL 700 BDL IN .270 CALIBER SERIAL NUMBER 6207461 At the conclusion of the First World War, Remington was left with a substantial stock of M1917 parts. With no hope of further government contracts, Remington turned its eye to the commercial market. The Model 30, which was essentially the Model 1917 modified to fit the tastes of the American sportsman, was first offered in 1921. After the Second World War further changes were made to the Model 30 line, resulting in the Model 721. In the early 1960`s Remington Engineer Mike Walker began designing a rifle which was more accurate than the 721, but also could beat the price with the Winchester Model 70. The result was the introduction the famous Model 700 in 1962.

This rifle has been fitted with a detachable box magazine for easy loading and unloading of cartridges. This provides an additional weight saving benefit, which the hunter who intends to return this rifle to the field will surely appreciate. The stock is a Remington synthetic in excellent condition, with a nice soft Remington recoil pad. The metal has some (not very noticeable) pitting. Metal finish would rate about 95%, the bore is bright and shiny with strong lands and grooves. $750.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7942 - FRENCH MANNLICHER-BERTHIER MODEL 1916 BARRELED RECEIVER IN 8 X 50MMR LEBEL CALIBER. Barrel cut to 18 inches and sporter style ramp front sight added. Decent but dirty bore, it may or may not clean up. Lots of blue finish. What you see is what you get. Since this includes a receiver it has to go to a FFL holder. $75.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7814 - U.S. RIFLE M1A SPRINGFIELD ARMORY(C)" LOADED" WITH STAINLESS STEEL NATIONAL MATCH BARREL Serial number 197734 made circa 2007 by Springfield Inc, Genseo, IL.

This is the upgraded version with medium weight stainless steel barrel marked NM-.308- SS, National Match front and 1/2 minute windage adjustable rear sight, and trigger job. It uses a new made walnut stock without the ugly cuts for the selector parts. The only difference between this and their ultimate level National Match grade is the latter has a hooded NM rear sight aperture and those rifles are glass bedded.

This is essentially the civilian version of the M14 rifle, but made without the capability to be readily converted to select fire. It also has a 10 round magazine (instead of the standard 20) and the flash hider is the Springfield Armory "muzzle brake" variation which is Kalifornia compliant, and actually has some benefits as a muzzle brake while the flash hider is sexy and perhaps useful in a combat weapon to make your position less obvious, but otherwise worthless.

A gently used example with no signs of wear, but could stand a good cleaning. A very handsome and high quality rifle. $1595.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7778 - MARLIN MODEL 336SC SERIAL NUMBER 25091344 CALIBER 35 REMINGTON The Marlin Firearms Company was established by John Marlin in 1870. Initially producing pistols and single shot long guns, Marlin expanded his offerings to repeating rifles in 1881. In 1893 Marlin introduced a design that, after an update in 1936 and 1948, would be recognized as the Model 336.

The Model 336 is unusual for a lever gun in that its design allows for the ability to easily mount a scope. Many outdoorsmen consider this to give the edge to the Marlin over the popular Winchester 1894 design. Marlin also offered a much larger variety of chamberings for the 336 than Winchester did for the 1894, making the Marlin more versatile.

In 2007 Marlin was acquired by Remington Arms Company. During what collectors refer to as the "Remlin" years, a marked decrease in the quality of Marlin products was observed. Following the bankruptcy of Remington Arms Company, Marlin was acquired by Sturm Ruger. Initial reports on Ruger made rifles are positive, but prices have jumped significantly. As a result of this turmoil, original North Haven JM stamped rifles have become more desirable to collectors.

This rifle was produced in 1975. The barrel is JM stamped. The finish is in excellent condition, and would rate above 95%. The stock has three notches in the pistol grip area, likely to commemorate the poor woodland creatures that were felled by this gun. The stock is in otherwise excellent condition, and does not have any unsightly additions from previous owners. Bore is in excellent shape. $750.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7530 - PROJECT GUN! WINCHESTER MODEL 75 SPORTER (1940) RESTORATION PROJECT (MISSING BOLT) Serial number 11096 made in 1940. Easily identified by the "SPORTING" marking on the trigger guard. When new, these were beautiful guns, as well as extremely accurate, based on the Model 75 target rifle.

Having successful sales of their top of the line Model 52 .22 target rifles in a "sporting rifle" configuration, they introduced a Model 75 sporter in 1939. This was designed for handier field use. It had a shorter (23.5 inch), slimmer barrel, a hand-checkered lighter-weight stock, and one-inch sling swivels. The action and barrel received the identical care lavished on its big brother target rifle. The stock had a specially designed "shotgun" butt and steel buttplate and a pistol grip with a hard rubber cap and a semi-beavertail forearm. The walnut stock was nicely finished. The 5-round magazine was the same as was used in most Winchester .22 bolt action rifles (69, 75 and 52). Sight options were the Winchester number 32 open rear sight on the barrel, or a Lyman number 57-E micrometer receiver sight. The front sight was a metallic bead on a ramp integral with the barrel, and included a sight cover. Weight was an easy-to-carry 5 pounds, 8 ounces.

The "Sporting" Model 75s are pretty hard to find and even more so in the pre-war era. The bore of this rifle is bright and shiny with strong lands and groove.

SMOF7812 - WINCHESTER MODEL 70 PRE-1964 CUSTOM RIFLE IN 6.5 X 59MM CALIBER Serial number 240589 made in 1953. This is a custom gun assembled by Poway Gun Works in July 1987, chambered in 6.5 x 59mm caliber (all marked on the barrel as shown in the photos).

This was probably done by Bill Simpson, a retired Navy competitive shooter and gunsmith, who was co-owner of Poway Gun Works (in the San Diego area) with another retired Navy shooter and pistol gunsmith, Ray Peet. Pistolsmith Ken Johnson, another retired Navy shooter/armorer also worked his magic there. Handgunner magazine for Janaury/February 1984 has a nice article on their business at https://americanhandgunner.com/1984issues/HJF84.pdf

We have been unable to find anything at all about a "6.5 x 59mm" cartridge in any reference. The bolt face is about .480 and looking at the chamber it seems to be a pretty typical slightly tapered, necked cartridge. It may even be the excellent 6.5 x 55mm Swedish that somehow was erroneously marked, but the reputation of these gunsmiths makes such an error highly unlikely, but my gut tells me that is possible. It really needs a chamber cast and careful research before attempting to fire this one. The barrel is a medium to heavy weight 24 inches long, measuring about .725" at the muzzle. This has a steel one piece trigger guard and floor plate assembly. The internal magazine box is missing, perhaps intentional for use as a single shot. Follower about 3.05" long is included, but no magazine spring. Back of bolt handle is numbered 251 161.

It has a set trigger with a very wide face, and when pushed forward a blade extends from the center for hair trigger use, but maker is unknown to me, but not some home brew contraption. Redfield scope mount base installed. The walnut stock is very attractive and in excellent condition with just a few minor handling blemishes. I suspect the stock is probably from the 1980s, not from 1953. Red rubber recoil pad still has some flex to it, but is pretty firm. Action is glass bedded with the barrel free floated from the chamber forward.

Figure out what caliber this is, and it may turn out to be a great shooter as is. Otherwise, this is a wonderful starting point for a new custom build needing little more than replacing the barrel with one for your favorite caliber. A very handsome gun for a bargain price for anything with a Pre-1964 Winchester Model 70 action. $1295.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7489 - REMINGTON MODEL 341 IN 22 CALIBER The Remington Model 341 bolt- action rifle was produced by the Remington Arms Company from the late 1930s until the early 1950s. It was designed as a versatile and affordable rifle for small game hunting, plinking, and target shooting. The rifle has a simple yet elegant design, with a hardwood stock and a blued steel barrel and receiver. The rifle`s action was smooth and the trigger, crisp and responsive.

This rifle is in very good condition, with the metal retaining about 90% original finish. The walnut stock is also very nice with some normal wear and small scratches, the characters "& P J" are carved on the right hand side of the buttstock (see picture). The bore is bright and shiny with strong lands and grooves. This rifle would make an great present for a collector or a young shooter who is just starting out, it was made with materials, craftsmanship and quality rarely seen in modern .22 caliber bolt action rifles. $250.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7818 - NICE RUGER MINI-THIRTY 7.72 X 39MM SEMI AUTO RIFLE (MODEL 01844 MADE IN 1994) Serial number 189-62696. These are nice rifles, made with Ruger`s usual "rugged and reliable" quality. This is the "Ranch Model" with the walnut finished hardwood stock, and matte finish stainless steel parts except for the magazine. The magazine is Ruger factory 5 round flush type, but after market mags are readily available, but be careful, some have reputations being poor quality. This has the black polymer handguard, which has a 2.5 inch chip out of it, but replacements (factor or Choate or others) are readily available. This has the factory serrated ramp front sight pinned to the barrel. The rear sight was removed and previous owner used it with a scope which he no longer had. These are made with scope based integral with the receiver, so all you need is a set of suitable scope rings, which are readily available.

Overall condition is excellent with virtually no wear on the stock finish or buttplate. 18.5 inch barrel has excellent bore.

Note that there were some subtle variations over the years in the Mini-Thirty, so keep the serial number prefix and model number in mind if ordering parts. $750.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7816 - RUGER 10-22 .22 LONG RIFLE SEMI-AUTO RIFLE - Serial number 121-68417 made in 1981. This is the great little rifle that Bill Ruger designed and brought ot market in 1964, and they have sold gazillions of them ever since. The factory magazine was a 10 round rotary type, a huge innovation at the time, and source of the name 10-22.

This was made in 1981, and is the classic sporter model with walnut finished hardwood stock and blued finish. Previous owner added a buttplate extending recoil pad which is nice if you have long arms. This comes with a Ram-Line 30 round magazine instead of the factor 10 round. It also comes with a Burris 3 x 9 x 40mm scope. Muzzle of the barrel has been threaded [INSERT THREAD SIZE HERE] and front sight removed. Excellent bore, but like most .22 rifles it needs a good cleaning. $275.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7800 - HANSOME BELGIAN BROWNING BAR CALIBER 270 WIN GRADE II SERIAL NUMBER 94112M69 BELGAIN MADE In 1967 Browning introduced the Browning Automatic Rifle, commonly referred to as the BAR. Initially offered in .243 Win, .270 Win, .308 Win, and .30-06, the BAR was intended to be a direct competitor to the semi-automatic rifles offered by Winchester and Remington. In 1969 7MM Rem Mag, 300 Win Mag, and 338 Win Mag were also offered in a magnum version.

Browning also offered different grades in the BAR. As the grades increased so did the quality of the wood selected for the stocks. Grade I was considered the standard rifle and featured no engraving. Grade II featured a scroll type engraving with an elk and a buck engraved on the receiver. Grade III featured a more complicated checkering pattern on the stocks, and an elaborate scrollwork scene featuring a bugling elk was included on the receiver. Grade IV deleted the presence of iron sights to make the rifle more svelte, the stocks received hand engraved oak leave patterns in addition to a finer line per inch pattern, and the receiver was engraved with an outdoor scene. The Grade V had all of the features of the previous grade, but also received gold in lay on various parts of the rifle, including the engraving.

In 1977 Browning moved assembly of the BAR to a facility in Portugal. Most collectors consider the Belgian produced BAR rifles to be the finest quality and the most desirable.

This rifle is a Grade II BAR produced in Belgium in 1969. Overall condition is excellent, with original bluing rating at about 95%+. The stock is in above average condition, with one small area on the fore stock near the receiver showing bruising. Bore is mirror bright and would rate near mint. A Leupold style base is included with the rifle. ------------------------------------------------- $1250.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7495 - REMINGTON SPORTSMAN 48 SHOTGUN IN 12 GA SERIAL NUMBER 3081719 The Remington Model 48 is a semi-automatic shotgun that was produced by the Remington Arms company from 1948 to 1968. It is based on the design of the earlier Model 11, which was itself an updated version of the Remington Model 17. The 48 features a long recoil action, in which the barrel and bolt recoil rearward together for a short distance after firing before the bolt locks into the barrel. This design allowed for a lighter and more compact receiver than other semi-automatic shotguns of the time. The Model 48 was popular with hunters and sportsmen, and was offered in a variety of gauges and barrel lengths.

This shotgun is in excellent condition with 95% plus original finish remaining. It has a 28 inch barrel with full choke. $350.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7599 - REMINGTON MODEL 12C SERIAL NUMBER 437197 CALIBER .22 S/L/LR In 1907 Remington partnered with famous gun designer J. D. Pederson to set about designing a slide action gallery style rifle to compete with the Winchester Model 1890 and Model 1906. Remington sought to produce a rifle that appeared more elegant than the Winchester rifles by concealing the hammer inside of the body of the receiver. This had the added benefit of reducing the amount of dirt or other contaminants that could enter the receiver. After some modifications completed by in house Remington employees Crawford C. Loomis and G. H. Garrison, Remington introduced the Model 12 for sale in 1909 at the handsome price of $9.50 for a standard rifle. Production of the Model 12 ceased in 1936 after sales of approximately 800,000 units.

This is the Model 12C with the 24 inch octagon barrel (the regular model 12A had a 22 inch round or octagon barrel). This is a handsome rifle it is in excellent condition with the metal parts retaining 90- 95% of the original bluing. The rifle has no date code on the barrel, indicating it was manufactured prior to the implementation of the barrel code system in the 1920`s. The bore is bright and in good condition. Overall this is a fine example of an early .22 caliber rifle. Remington Model 12`s that don`t look they were lost in Bubba`s barn are getting harder and harder to find. This rifle is sure to please the Remington fancier or the .22 caliber fanatic. $750.00 (View Picture)

The black finish on this gun is a strong 97% + with slight surface marks. The stock and forearm are also rated a very strong 98%. The bore is bright and shiny. The mechanics function flawlessly. The carry handle has a small bit missing near the rear sight but this does not affect function. Also include is one 20- round Colt magazine. $1795.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7529 - PROJECT GUN! WINCHESTER MODEL 74 IN 22 LR SERIAL NUMBER 221458A MANUFACTURED IN 1948 The Winchester Model 74 semi-automatic rifle was produced by Winchester Repeating Arms Company from 1939 to 1955. It was designed as a successor to the earlier Winchester Model 63, which had been in production since 1933.

HAVERKAMP

Haverkamp Precision is a relatively new entrant into the custom action field, but Tom Haverkamp produces a very high- quality product. The LV40 action, $885.00 before options, is similar to the Remington short style, except it is .200" longer and .060" larger in diameter. The extra length allows a longer barrel tenon, which increases barrel support and rigidity. The Haverkamp Precision action does not use the detachable recoil lug sandwiched between the action and barrel. The tenon thread is 1 1/16" - 18 TPI. The port opening is 2.400" long. Weight of the action with trigger hanger is 34 ounces. The receiver bottom is solid (no magazine cutout) and has a flat, milled section for added bedding support. A detachable aluminum trigger hanger allows for rapid removal of the trigger for adjusting without removing the barreled action from the stock. (Drop out trigger) uses any Remington style trigger: Jewell, Timney, Basics, etc. Standard price includes deep machined helical fluting of the bolt.

The receiver and bolt are made from aircraft quality 4140 chrome moly steel heat treated to Rockwell 41-43C. All openings in the receiver are machined in the hardened material after heat treating to maintain straightness. Receiver thread and faces are square and concentric. The bore is honed and air gauged for a close fit with the bolt (.0015 to .002 ). Price includes polishing both bolt and receiver, There is no bead blasting on this action.

Stocks inletted for Remington short actions will work with a Haverkamp Precision action with some modification. The actions can be glued in or pillar bedded. Pillar bedding kits with aluminum trigger guard will be available in the near future. The bolt release is either of two types: A: Standard Pull pin style made from 4340 alloy steel; optional Push style, stylish (additional cost). To learn more, visit Haverkampactions.com.

SMOF7524 - WINCHESTER MODEL 1903 SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLE SERIAL NUMBER 34730 MANUFACTURED IN 1906 WITH THE ORIGINAL TANG SIGHT The Winchester Model 1903 has a special place in firearms history, it is the first semi-automatic rifle designed and offered for commercial sale in North America.

The Winchester Model 1903 has a sleek and streamlined design, with a walnut stock and blued steel barrel and receiver. It is chambered in .22 Winchester Automatic (also known as .22 Winchester Rimfire), which is a rimfire cartridge specifically designed for this rifle and it will not function properly with regular .22 rimfire ammunition. Winchester chambered the Model 1903 rifle in this unusual caliber because at the time the rifle was introduced, blackpowder and semi-smokeless powder 22 rimfire ammunition was still widely available. Use of blackpowder ammunition in this type of semi-automatic rifle will quickly gum up the action and render it inoperable. The .22 Winchester Automatic cartridge was introduced as a measure to prevent the use of anything but ammunition that made use of smokeless powder in the rifle.

The rifle has a 20-inch barrel, and an overall length of 40 inches. It weighs approximately 5 pounds, which makes it lightweight and easy to handle. The bore could use a good cleaning but looks to be in good condition with strong lands and groves and a shine that can be seen through the dirt. The original finish would rate about 70% to 80% with normal wear for a rifle that is well over 100 years old. The wood is in very good condition, the only exception is a "V" shaped knick on the left hand side of the stock (see pictures). Comes with the rare original tang sight.

Overall, the Winchester Model 1903 is a classic and historic rifle that is revered by collectors and enthusiasts for its elegant design and innovative technology. It played an important role in the evolution of firearms, particularly in the development of semi-automatic rifles. $750.00 (View Picture)

SMOF6475 - CUSTOM SPORTING RIFLE MADE ON AN EDDYSTONE M1917 ACTION WITH SCOPE AND SLING A classic 1950s-early 60s vintage custom sporter, tastefully designed and nicely executed.

The rear sight assembly and protective ears have been neatly removed and the receiver has been radiused, the front and rear rings each have holes drilled and tapped for an old style Weaver scope mount. The Weaver K4 4x Scope is in nice condition with a few minor dents and dings. Scopes and mounts like this were very popular back in the day days. Bluing would rate about 95%. The stock is a nice modified military with straight grain walnut a thick recoil pad. Comes with a nice wide suede backed sling. $395.00 (View Picture)

Modern Shotguns

SMOF8088 - 2968 - DESIRABLE L.C. SMITH 16 GAUGE DOUBLE BARREL SIDELOCK 16 GAUGE SHOTGUN MADE CIRCA 1904-1905-MODEL "O" WITH 30" DAMASCUS BARRELS L.C. Smith was regarded as one of the better American double gun makers, a little less expensive (and less fancy) than the Parker Brothers, or the basically custom shop guns like the Winchester 21, but decidedly better than the mass produced Savage/Stevens guns, and infinitely better than the cheap junky guns from Crescent or Folsom, or imported from Belgium. "Elsie" Smith guns are very well made with a superb, mechanically solid lock up and reliable actions. These were made for the serious (and somewhat affluent) sportsman and hunter, but seldom had the fancy engraving or figured wood found on the more expensive Parkers or custom guns.

The peak quality L.C. Smith shotguns were made by the Hunter Arms Company in Fulton, NY, from 1890 to 1945. Afterwards, the L.C. Smith brand was sold to Marlin who made limited numbers of them from 1945 into the 1970s. This example dates to1904-1905, when Hunter Arms Company quality was near its peak, and prior to the changes circa 1913.

Note that Damascus or "twist" barrels were made by twisting together slender strips of steel and hammer welding them together as the were twisted, resulting in a beautiful spiraling pattern with slightly different shading to the different types of steel used. This was thought to be stronger than solid steel barrels of similar thickness. However eventually the Damascus barrels were considered to be weaker, especially any made by junky foreign makers in Belgium. Today, the near universal advice is NEVER shoot a Damascus barrel gun, but some people dare to do so using special light loads intended just for such daredevils, showing off by with their response to the "Do you feel lucky" question. We take no sides in the safety debate, and sell all guns as collector items only, and all guns need to be approved by a competent gunsmith prior to firing. You can sue them if a gun turns out to be not safe. Remember also, that at the time this was made, the 16 GA shotshell chambers were cut for 2 9/16" shells, NOT the standard 2 3/4" shell used for the last 75 years, and that difference is another good reason to NOT attempt to shoot the early guns.

Overall this WAS a really handsome gun when new, and although suffering some abuse, it can be easily restored to a much nicer appearance with some stock refinishing. The right side of the butt has a 2" x 3" area where the glossy (lacquer type ?) finish is gone, possibly from someone spilling nail polish remover or similar and wiping it off. There are a number of light scratches and scrapes and a few deeper ones all over the wood. If I were to keep it, I would carefully strip the wood finish off entirely, then soak and steam the wood to raise dents, lightly sand to a fine grit, and apply stain and a new finish coat to emphasize the beautiful grain. The buttplate is light brownish, perhaps pressed horn, in excellent condition. Checkered grip and forend in excellent condition. Forend has the ebony tip. The receiver and sidelocks have a few traces of case colors, but mostly worn silvery with some scattered staining. One patch of very light pitting on the right side around the hinge pin location as shown in the photos. Barrels retain their attractive Damascus figure in most places. Marked with serial number and "O" grade marking on the bottom of the barrel and on the water table (flat part of the frame). There are no other markings on the barrels or the rib. Both sideplates marked with L.C. SMITH name. Bores are mirror bright except for some leading near the muzzle which should clean out. Left barrel has a nick as shown in the photos, about 20" from the breech end. Brass bead front sight. C&R FFL eligible.

A potentially very handsome old classic American double gun made over 120 years ago, great as a representative example of that category, or for decorative use, and priced to sell at only $395.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7331 - REMINGTON MODEL 1894 HAMMERLESS DOUBLE BARREL AE GRADE 12 GAUGE- EJECTORS Serial number 119418 made in 1900. This is their "A" grade made with automatic ejectors, so officially the "AE" grade. The 30 inch Damascus barrels have a nice pattern where protected by the forearm although most of the rest of the barrels exposed to surface patina/oxidation appears more of a blued finish. Excellent bright bores needing just a gentle scrubbing.

Remington Arms Co. stamped the actual pellet counts of their test patterns on the rear barrel lug of their hammerless doubles. If the number is two digits a leading 3 is implied. From surviving hang-tags we know the standard load they used to target 12-gauge guns was 1 1/4 ounces of #8 going 511 pellets to the load. The left barrel is marked 38 and the right 32, so the math for 338 and 332 works out to 66 and 64% respectively. Sources vary on how to interpret these percentages, which equate to roughly full and improved. (See https://www.remingtonsociety.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=26157)

Walnut butt and forend nicely factory checkered with most of the original high gloss varnish(?) finish with a few light scratches and dings from field use. Old recoil pad added by a previous user, now nearly petrified. Length of pull is 14 inches. One small scratch or crack on the panel behind the right side of the receiver. Excellent mechanics and nice "bank vault" lock up. Receiver was color case hardened, now mixed with thin patina which may or may not clean up some,

The Model 1894 was Remington`s better quality double gun, with the Model 1900 being a bit cheaper and lesser quality, but both were immensely popular and much better guns than the mass market guns churned out by Folsom or Crescent and sold under literally hundreds of "store brand" names, or the even lower quality imported Belgian junk.

We sell all guns as collector items only and they must be approved by a competent gunsmith prior to firing. We see no reason why this one would not be approve for use with ammunition suitable for Damascus barrel for someone in the "Vintager" shotgun community. Or it is just a real nice example of a relatively high quality American made double. This was made at a time when John M. Browning designed repeating shotguns were about to capture the American sporting shotgun market with the pump action Model 1893 and 1897 Winchesters selling well, and Browning`s Auto-5/Remington Model 11 creating a huge demand for semi-autos. In 1909 Remington totally quit the double gun market and sold off every double gun in inventory or in process of manufacture. A collection of Remington non- repeating shotguns would be an interesting and inexpensive collecting specialty. We have one of Remington`s first shotgun, a percussion single shot listed on our antique page which could be the starting point for such a collection. The recoil pad reduces the price of this one considerably to only $595.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7724 - 1002 RARE STEVENS MODEL 621 MATTED RIB 12 GAUGE SHOTGUN (BROWNING DESIGNED) Serial number 24042 with 30 inch full choke solid rib barrel. Probably made circa 1940. These use Browning`s 4th repeating shotgun design (1- M1887 lever; 2- 1893/1897 pump; 3- 1900 semi auto-five; 4- Stevens 520/620; 5- Remington 17/Ithaca 37)

These were made in tiny numbers, with a solid rib on the barrel, and this model is not even listed in the Blue Book. Stevens made a big deal out of the Browning origins, with "BROWNING DESIGN- 12 GAUGE" on the barrel and left side of the receiver marked "STEVENS BROWNING/ MADE BY/J. STEVENS ARMS CO./CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS, U.S.A." and model 621 on the left side of the receiver. Nicely checkered butt and forend, with about 95% original varnish finish and original hard rubber Stevens buttplate. About 85-90% original blue remains, although typical mediocre Stevens polishing, and somewhat dulling and thinning from use. Not minty, but still a very nice old gun, especially for this very rare model. Excellent mechanics, mirror bright bore. Stevens arms (with or without their Savage cousins) would be an inexpensive and broad collecting specialty, even if just narrowed down to their shotguns, either under their true name, or adding the "house brand" versions. The hard part will be finding guns in nice condition like this, as they were "working man`s guns" and typically well used but not well cared for. This will be one of the scarce models to find. $575.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7725 - 1004 RARE STEVENS MODEL 620A "HIGH GRADE" 12 GAUGE SHOTGUN (BROWNING DESIGNED) Serial number 12179 with 32 inch full choke barrel with mirror bright bore. Made circa 1939-40? These use Browning`s 4th repeating shotgun design (1- M1887 lever; 2- 1893/1897 pump; 3- 1900 semi auto-five; 4- Stevens 520/620; 5- Remington 17/Ithaca 37)

I am using the term "High Grade" as it has etched game scenes on both sides of the receiver, and the stock has a cheek rest and factory rubber recoil pad. I have not been able to pin down the exact date or model designation, but did find 2 or 3 other guns with similar features, and comments that the pad and cheek rest were similar to other Savage or Stevens guns. The 620A used a buttstock held on by a stock bolt running the length of the butt, while the 620 used upper and lower tangs on the receiver to attach the buttstock. Based on the low serial number I am guessing that this dates to the late 1930s or early WW2 years. Left side of barrel marked STEVENS- J. STEVENS ARMS CO./CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS, U.S.A.- MODEL 620-A." The absence of the Savage name on the barrel indicates it is probably no later than 1946. In any case, it is a scarce or rare "high grade" variation of the 620A in nice condition at a reasonable price. About 96% original factory blue remains except for more wear on the magazine tube at the balance point where it is mostly worn off. The checkered butt is excellent, and the rubber butt pad is pretty good for its age. The forend grip is the ringed type instead of being checkered, so it was likely replaced at some point. Excellent mechanics.

Stevens arms (with or without their Savage cousins) would be an inexpensive and broad collecting specialty, even if just narrowed down to their shotguns, either under their true name, or adding the "house brand" versions. The hard part will be finding guns in nice condition like this, as they were "working man`s guns" and typically well used but not well cared for. This model will be one of the very hard to find pieces, especially in this condition. $695.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7328 - VINTAGE L.C. SMITH 12 GAUGE DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN MADE BY HUNTER ARMS CIRCA 1904 Serial number 123720 with 30 inch barrel (full and full, we think about .691 bore on both). Bores are mirror bright. Barrels are "Armor Steel" which is highly regarded as very strong and suitable for modern standard 12 GA 2 3/4" loads, but not super hot magnum or anything longer than 2 3/4" shells. That`s what we found by research, but we sell all guns as collector items only and they must be approved by a competent gunsmith prior to firing. We know of no reason they would not approve this one, but we are not gunsmiths and depend on them to decide safety issues.

This is the "00" grade, stamped on the barrels and receiver, which was their entry level grade with no engraving, plain wood, and no ejectors, only the typical extractors of the era. This has a really great fitting, solid lock up like a bank vault, with high quality fit and finish, especially compared to any of the plentiful junky mass market Crescent or other cheap shotguns sold to less affluent shooters. This has plain walnut stock and forend, with simple checkering that is mostly worn, or possibly lightly sanded off. Buttplate is a hard rubber type with no chips or damage, just some honest wear. Barrels have about 85% original blue with expected field wear. The action has maybe 40% case colors with some silvering and staining, and maybe someone with some cold blue. Good mechanics.

Hunter Arms Company of Fulton, NY was the maker of all the L.C. Smith shotguns in the early days of the company, and this has two 1886 patent dates on the inside of the frame, along with the 00 (field) grade designation which was used until 1913.

A fine old vintage shotgun, from the classic era when double guns were the norm. But, their dominance in the shooting sports was winding down as repeaters invented by John M. Browning were rapidly proving to be better guns and held many more shells for immediate use.

A nice quality double gun in far above average condition for a turn of the century sporting shotgun. $695.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7327 - FRANCHI SEMI-AUTO 12 GAUGE 3-INCH MODEL 48AM WITH 32 INCH VENT RIB BARREL Serial number 147617 with 32 inch vented rib, full choke barrel for serious hunting use. Mechanically, this is a copy of the rugged and reliable Browning Auto-5 design, with slight cosmetic updates which make it more attractive and modern looking. Made in Brescia, Italy in 1970, this is a really handsome gun, with high polish blue finish, handsome walnut stock with really nice checkering and a good recoil pad. Reportedly these are quite happy to use with steel shot.

There is a similar Model 48 AL which is a much lighter weight gun with shorter barrel and aluminum receiver, but this is the heavier gun better suited for the 3" 12 gauge shells needed for waterfowl. The best part is that it has been used just a tiny bit, so you will not feel guilty taking it out and adding an occasional scratch or rust spot on it. There are two small rust spots on the left side of the receiver, one on the right and a couple on the barrel above the end of the forend. You might be able to clean those off, or make them look a lot worse, so we would probably just leave them alone as a reminder to always oil your guns when putting them away, and don`t leave them in a cloth case. A couple of insignificant scratches are on the butt such as eventually appear on all hunting guns. We sell all guns as collector items to be approved by a competent gunsmith prior to firing, but we know of no reason this would not be approved. This was made in 1970, and now qualifies as a `Curio or relic" under the 50 year rule, and can be shipped to a C&R FFL. A really nice gun by a respected maker, at a very affordable price and C&R eligible! $495.00 (View Picture)
