Modern Hand Guns

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)

**SOLD** SMOF7853 - 1416 -COLT WOODSMAN .22 LR TARGET MODEL (SECOND SERIES) MADE IN 1949- NEAR NEW IN ORIGINAL BOX Serial number 19285-S with spare magazine and extra grip adapter. Just a tiny bit of finish wear on the side of the barrel at the muzzle from rubbing in the box, otherwise beautiful Colt blue finish. Excellent bore and mechanics. About as close to new in the box as you will find any more on a 75 year old gun, except for one tiny chip on the bottom edge of the left grip. The brown flip top box is in excellent condition with nice intact label on one end, with some minor scuffing on the lower corners.

The Woodsman, designed by John M. Browning was one of the most popular .22 caliber pistols of the 20th century, made in 3 different series, each starting the number sequence at 1. The Colt 2nd Series Woodsman was made from 1948-1955. They were built on a longer and heavier frame, had a frame mounted magazine release near the rear of the trigger guard (like on the M1911). Note that magazines are not interchangeable between the three models.

The Woodsman was offered in the long barrel "Target" model like this one, a shorter and lighter sporting version and a "Match Target" model with distinctive heavier barrel design. It will be very hard to find a nicer example than this one, especially with the box! $1450.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7857 - - 1420 HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON "SPORTSMAN SINGLE ACTION" (MODEL 999) 9 SHOT .22 LONG RIFLE REVOLVER MADE IN 1956 WITH ORIGINAL BOX- MINTY! Serial number S18590 made in 1956 when they began the A prefix. These are well made and rugged guns, with the basic design in production most of the time between 1933 and 1985 with only a few cosmetic changes. They are a tip up design, with heavy 6" barrel with a rib and adjustable rear sight. The oiled walnut grips are man size target grips, checked on the sides and back. This is a gently used example, with about 98-99% original finish, and just a few tiny spots and ahint of thinning on the sharp edges at the muzzle. Excellent bright and sharp bore, nice single action trigger. (This is the "Single Action" model, as marked on the barrel. There is also a "double action" model.)

This comes with the original box, numbered to the gun, in good to very good condition with normal wear and tear inside and out, mainly scuffing on the edges. Original boxes really boost collector demand and values and this is not perfect, but hard to find in any condition.

H&R is gaining popularity and respect as a collecting field, so prices are rising. This would be an excellent representative example of this model, made when 9 shot revolvers were still considered kind of "odd," while today more than six shot revolvers are real popular. C&R eligible. It will be tough to find a nicer 1950s vintage example WITH BOX. $675.00 (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)

SMOF7585 - NEW IN BOX COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY THIRD GENERATION, .44 SPECIAL 7 1/2 INCH, BLUE & COLOR CASE HARDENED Serial Number SA07713, made in 1978. Gun is basically new in the box with beautiful original deep blue finish and wonderful case colors. This has the desirable 7.5 inch barrel, and is in .44 Special caliber. The grips are the classic checkered black hard rubber with rampant colt in oval at the top and American Eagle at the bottom of each panel. Comes with papers as shown in the photos.

These are considered to be the "Third Generation" of the Single Action Army introduced in 1873, which remained in production until WW2. Post war, popularity of movie and television westerns (and good sales for Ruger`s single actions) convinced Colt to restart the SAA in a "second generation" using serial numbers with "SA" at the END of the serial number as a suffix.

In 1976, Colt redesigned the Single Action Army, basically minor changes to make manufacture faster and cheaper with modern tooling, current thread pitches and steel specifications, etc, which left the gun visually identical to the earlier guns, but mechanically a bit better. These changes were included at the end of the "SA suffix" serial number series, but they ran out of numbers in 1978 and switched to using "SA" before the number, as a prefix. This gun was made during 1978 when they ended at SA 14808.

This is a really great gun, although the cardboard outer box is a bit scuffed and tired with the label partly peeling and some corner damage. Still pretty nice for a 45 year old box! This has to go to a dealer FFL now, but in five more years it will qualify as C&R under the 50 year rule. $2495.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7897 - NICKEL SMITH AND WESSON MODEL .44 HAND EJECTOR THIRD MODEL IN 44 SPECIAL SERIAL NUMBER 30811 MANUFACTURED IN 1929 44 Special, 5" barrel with an excellent bore. This lovely 1929 revolver still retains about 97% original nickel finish. The trigger and hammer retain bold case-hardened colors. The grips are Stag Horn type with S&W Grip Escutcheons and they rate about excellent overall. All appropriate parts are correctly numbered to the gun. $1295.00 (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)

SMOF7855 - - 1419 RUGER SECURITY SIX .357 MAGNUM SIX SHOT REVOLVER MADE IN 1984- BLUE- 2 AND 3/4" BARREL- MINTY! Serial number 159-86203. This has the popular square butt walnut grips and adjustable sights. Front sight has high visibility insert added, which I think was a factory option, but maybe not.

While Bill Ruger was busy cashing in on the popularity of single action "cowboy" style revolvers, he also wanted a medium frame double action revolver for the large law enforcement and personal defense markets, and started work on these in 1966, announced the new "Security Six" model in 1970 and began deliveries in 1972. Offered in .357 Magnum, .38 Special or 9 x 19mm Luger calibers, it was very popular and remains so with collectors and shooters today. But, it was discontinued in 1988 and replaced by the heavier and even more robust GP-100. Variants were mainly blue or stainless finish, and barrel lengths of 2.75, 3, 4 or 6 inches. Grips were square butt like this one, or round or larger "target/combat" wooden grips. This great example is previously owned, exceptionally well cared for and would almost pass for new. Great bore and mechanics. $695.00 (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)

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)

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)

SMOF7736 - RUGER SUPER BLACKHAWK IN .44 MAGNUM, 7.5 INCH BARREL - 7.5 Inch Ruger Super Blackhawk 44 MAG Serial Number 83-88367. The Super Blackhawk was introduced in 1959, it was based on the Ruger Blackhawk but strengthened to handle the more powerful .44 Magnum cartridge with a larger steel (instead of alloy) frame, improved trigger guard and unfluted cylinder. Ruger's Super Blackhawk revolvers are known for their strength, accuracy, durability and reliability. This revolver has the Ruger interlocking safety mechanism, adjustable sights, walnut grips and the 7.5 inch barrel. Revolver is in excellent condition with a bright shiny bore and a few small scrapes or dings. $625.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7473 - VINTAGE HEALTHWAYS PLAINSMAN 175 CO2 PISTOL The Healthways Plainsman was designed and first produced in the sixties it`s a good shooter as well as being quite well made, robust and reliable. These types of guns use compressed air or gas to propel a small projectile. They are often used for plinking, and pest control. The 0.177 caliber refers to the diameter of the pellet being used. It is a smaller caliber pellet, which typically results in a higher muzzle velocity and flatter trajectory when compared to larger caliber pellets.

This pistol is in very good condition with only a slight amount of wear. $45.00 (View Picture)

SMF6390 - SPRINGFIELD XD SUB COMPACT IN 9MM, SERIAL NUMBER US815512. The Springfield XD combines safety with quality and ease of use. With Springfield`s new Ultra Safety Assurance (U. S. A.) action trigger system, this polymer framed pistol is comfortable and safe. XD pistols have exceptional safety features including a grip safety, USA trigger safety, and a firing pin block (drop safety). Ambidextrous magazine release buttons, loaded chamber indicator and cocked firing pin (striker) status indicator all add to the XD`s unrivaled features. The manufacturer warrants Springfield Armory XD pistols for life. This pistol is used but in like new condition. It comes with 3 stainless steel magazines. $450.00 (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)

**SOLD** SMOF7821 - 1250 INTERESTING & SCARCE DAISY-HEDDON MODEL V/L CASELESS, AIR IGNITION .22 CALIBER "COLLECTOR-NAMED" RIFLE Made for the Collection of Milton D. Schuman"

Serial #A001252, made for the .22 V/L caseless air-ignited cartridge, 18 inch barrel with a bright, sharp, probably unfired bore. This was part of the first production run of the short lived V/L rifles manufactured circa 1968-1969. The innovative caseless air-ignited cartridge generated 1150 FPS and was discontinued after BATF ruled them to be a "firearm" subject to the GCA of 1968. The papers with this one include the original shipping document to Mr. Milton D. Shuman dated 1971 via a FFL dealer. Therefore this QUALIFIES AS A CURIO AND RELIC UNDER THE 50 YEAR RULE.

Information on these is conflicting and mostly scattered bits and pieces without documentation. Several links are at the end, and you can chase them all for more details and choose what to believe and what to ignore. On the two articles from Pyramid Air, be sure to read all the comments, some of which are informative and some way off topic.

The V/L was named after the Belgian chemical engineer Jules Van Langenhoven who came up with the basic ammunition design. Cass Hough, president of Daisy was the guy who loved the idea and brought it to production. The rifles were made in three different grades. The largest number were standard grade rifles using plastic stocks from material similar to those on Daisy`s BB guns of the period. A smaller number of "Special Presentation Model" guns used walnut stocks, with an oval brass plate engraved "V/L Rifle, Special Presentation Model [in script] DAISY-HEDDON." The highest grade was a "Collector-Named" Model with a brass plate (more rectangular than oval shape) tacked on the stock, engraved:" V/L [over] Rifle number xxxx made for the collection of [person`s name] [over] DAISY- HEDDON". These personalized collector named guns came from the first production run in a foam lined hard case along with a certificate of authenticity signed by Cass S. Hough, President of Daisy/Heddon and inventor Jules Van Langenhoven, a 6" x 9" booklet on V/L and its place in gun history and two brass hanging hooks and several boxes of ammunition. I have seen rifle numbers between 119 and 1253 (A000119 and A001253) listed various places for collector model rifles, and estimate no more than 1,500 of the collector guns were made. Some people say 5,000 of the Presentation grade and up to 19,000 total V/L rifles were made. Daisy initially sold the VL rifles via its air gun dealer network, but stopped when ATF classified them as "firearms" which Daisy was not licensed to manufacture. Reportedly, ATF fined Daisy $500 for every one that made it to the public, so Daisy bought back unsold inventory from their distributors, and offered a "buy-back" to consumer purchasers, and the returned guns were destroyed by order of the ATF. So, how many of the alleged 19,000 produced have survived unknown.

The shooter loads by operating the lever (housed under the forend) inserting a round into the chamber, closing the lever and pulling the trigger. The "caseless" 22 caliber cartridge is ignited by the heat of the compressed air from the air rifle mechanism, on the same basic principle as a diesel engine where fuel ignition is caused by the heat from compressing the air in the cylinder/chamber. Ballistically, the performance is somewhere between the .22 short high velocity and .22 long rifle standard velocity.

The V/L rifle was a novel engineering concept, which actually worked pretty well, although the ammunition was somewhat fragile if handled roughly. The concept of caseless ammunition was very enticing in the 1960s, with the benefits of reduced ammo weight, elimination of metallic cases and eliminating the need for hammers, firing pins or extractors. But, despite widespread experiments, including various military applications, no one ever was able to make caseless ammo really practical or popular for small arms. In Daisy`s case, while their V/L rifles proved pretty workable as a light use novelty type item, the FFL hassles and comparatively high cost relative to regular .22 rimfire guns doomed it. Traditional small bore shooters were reluctant to give up their faithful .22 rimfires, and folks in the air gun world were skeptical about the addition of powder to their spring powered guns, so sales were lower than expected.

This is an as new in the box example of the highest grade of these uncommon rifles, complete with all the paperwork, including the original shipping document dated 1971. The original hard case is in excellent condition, but the brass plated hardware on it is beginning to rust some. A wonderful addition for any collector interested in technology, or those who collect Daisy or air rifles, or .22 caliber rifles.

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)

SMOF7688 - NICE PIETTA PPS/50 IN 22 SERIAL NUMBER SA82 The Pietta PPS/50 is a semi-automatic rifle that combines classic design with modern functionality. Inspired by the iconic Soviet PPSh-41 submachine gun, the PPS/50 is chambered in .22 LR, making it perfect for recreational shooting and plinking.

Introduced by the Italian Pietta company in the 1970s, the PPS/50 has been a continuously popular firearm for more than 40 years now. Designed to roughly resemble a Soviet PPSh-41 submachine gun, the PPS/50 is a semiautomatic .22 rimfire for the recreational market. It is a simple blowback action, and perhaps the most interesting mechanical feature is its 50-round drum magazine. The drum is remarkably reliable, and has certainly contributed to the long sustained manufacture of the PPS/50.

This PPS/50 is in excellent condition and comes with one drum magazine. $550.00 (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.

NOTE ON THESE "PROJECT GUNS": What you see is what you get. All of these probably have missing or damaged parts and must be approved by a competent gunsmith before attempting to fire. Since they have a receiver, all ATF rules apply, and they must ship to an appropriate FFL. All sold "as is" and are non-returnable. SPECIAL INCENTIVE- Buy more than one and shipping for any additional project guns is FREE! If you want the receiver scrapped to avoid the FFL hassles, make us an offer and we will consider scrapping the receiver and selling other parts. $250.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7319 - WINCHESTER MODEL 1892 RIFLE- .25-20 CALIBER WITH LOTS OF CHARACTER - Serial number 470172 made in 1908 with round 24 inch barrel and all typical features for that period. This was a favorite of ranchers and hunters, a much stronger and smoother design by John M. Browning which replaced the Model 1873 "gun the won the west." Most have seen hard lives, including this one, but it really has that "been there done that" look, even though mechanically it is in pretty good shape. Most of the screw heads are unbuggered. Mechanically excellent with smooth action. Traces of finish on the receiver, about 40-50% blue on the barrel and magazine tube, mixed with some light surface rust, with heavier rust and some light pitting near the muzzle. This is a great "western wall hanger" as is. The bore is dirty but some shine can be seen, it has pretty strong rifling, it may or may not clean up.

The Model 1892 Winchester is the classic "cowboy" rifle, and John Wayne was seldom seen without one. This is a nice honest old gun, representative of the old west, and a tribute to the enduring legacy of John M. Browning`s firearms genius. $895.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7806 - WINCHESTER MODEL 94 IN 32 WINCHESTER SPECIAL SERIAL NUMBER 1745268, MANUFACTURED IN 1951. 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 $1300 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

This rifle is chambered in 32 Winchester Special, a capable cartridge that can still be picked up at your local sporting goods store at a reasonable price. The wood is in very good condition with minimal signs of use. Excellent mirror bright bore with strong rifling. Blue would rate conservatively at 90%, with wear observed in the typical handling spots for these rifles. $950.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7886 - 1459 - WINCHESTER MODEL 52B HEAVY BARREL TARGET RIFLE Serial number 55287B, made in 1938 (per WACA lookup). The Model 52 dominated the American small bore competitive scene for most of the 20th century. Probably 95% plus original factory blue finish on barrel, receiver and buttplate. The trigger guard has some finish loss as that is where sweaty hands hold it during offhand firing. Bright polished bolt with blued handle has matching serial number electric penciled on bottom. Bore in the 28 inch heavy weight barrel is excellent plus, and these are nearly impossible to wear out.

My happiest days in college were spent holding a rifle only a few numbers from this one!

Excellent with no added holes or alterations to the butt length or addition of pads or hooks. Just honest wear from regular use by serious shooters.

Some of these were used as military trainers, mainly for ROTC rifle teams rather than basic training, and most of them are unmarked, so a nice item for a U.S. martial rifle collector or a Winchester collectors. This has blocks on the barrel for mounting a target scope and a front sight. The large dovetail on the receiver bridge has a mounting base marked "WIN 52 MS" which was a factory sight option in 1939 for the heavy barrel target rifles, with a Marble-Goss MG 52 MS extension rear sight and Lyman 77 front sight. NO SIGHTS INCLUDED. Receiver is also factory drilled and tapped on the left for receiver sights, with original plug screws still in place. $995.00 (View Picture)

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)

SMOF7679 - REMINGTON 700 ACTION The Remington 700 is considered by many to be the most accurate out of the box rifle ever made and the standard by which all other bolt actions are measured by. The Remington 700 action has been the basis for U.S. Marine Corps M40 series sniper rifles for nearly 50 years. This legendary rifle begins with the action and a rock solid receiver. The Remington Model 700 short action receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts and fits all of the standard short action calibers. Bolts come with either .223 or .308 bolt face which fit a wide range of cartridges, so select the action with the bolt to fit your preferred caliber. Most reputable gunsmiths are familiar with the Remington 700 and can help you select from the ton of aftermarket parts and other accessories to build up your custom rifle. All use the 1-1/16"x16 TPI barrel thread, and a recoil lug plate screwed between the barrel and receiver face. These are from the estate of an avid bench rest shooter. Some of the following include the lug, and trigger guard/magazine box, and trigger guard screws and some do not. What you see is what you get.

Serial number G6640753 Short action, .223 bolt face, fluted bolt, Parkerized with trigger and trigger guard complete. Used excellent. $450.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7479 - PROJECT GUN! JC HIGGINS MODEL 30 IN 22 The JC Higgins Model 30 was a bolt-action rifle that was sold by Sears, Roebuck and Co. from the 1950s to the 1960s. It was designed as a reliable and affordable rifle for hunting and sport shooting.

NOTE ON THESE "PROJECT GUNS": What you see is what you get. All of these probably have missing or damaged parts and must be approved by a competent gunsmith before attempting to fire. Since they have a receiver, all ATF rules apply, and they must ship to an appropriate FFL. All sold "as is" and are non-returnable.

If you want the receiver scrapped to avoid the FFL hassles, make us an offer and we will consider scrapping the receiver and selling other parts. $45.00 (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)

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)

SMOF7611 - RUSSIAN MADE SKS 7.62 X 39MM MADE BY TULA IN 1953 WITH FOLDING KNIFE BAYONET- NICE! The SKS (Samozaryadnyj Karabin sistemy Simonova) was designed in 1945 by Sergei Simonov. The SKS utilized the new 7.62x39 cartridge, which was intended to bridge the gap between the full power 7.62x54r used in the Mosin Nagant bolt action rifle and the 7.62x25 used in the PPSh. Limited troop trials of the SKS took place during the Second World War in the early Spring of 1945.

After the conclusion of the Second World War the Soviet Union was financially exhausted. What little funding and political will power was available was diverted into the development of the Kalashnikov rifle. Initial production of the Kalashnikov was slow, leading to the SKS being produced as a stop gap. Manufacture of the SKS began in 1949 at Tula and later in 1953 at Izhevsk. The Soviets gradually phased the SKS out of mainline service as more Kalashnikov rifles became available. The SKS remains in Russian service as a ceremonial arm.

The government of the Soviet Union shared the technical data for production of the SKS rifle with many friendly nations. This has created an interesting collecting niche for historians who enjoy the minutiae of each variant. Shooters who like to keep their surplus rifles in the field may also appreciate the common availability of the 7.62x39 cartridge, which the SKS is chambered in.

This rifle was made at the Tula arsenal in 1953. All numbers are matched. The stock is a well figured artic birch, and was likely replaced during an arsenal refurbishment as indicated by box with a slash mark that is present on both the receiver cover and stock. Finish is excellent and would rate about 95%. No ugly black paint is present on this rifle. As is typical for these rifles, an import mark is present on the barrel near the bayonet lug. Bore is chrome lined and in excellent condition.

The Russian SKS is often considered the pinnacle of the SKS family of rifles. Produced with milled parts and finished with a deep blue, the Russian SKS is a fine rifle that is often underappreciated. $1050.00 (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)

**HOLD** SMOF7781 - 1224 RARE GERMAN SHORT RECOIL SEMI-AUTO SHOTGUN MADE BY CARLWALTHER COMPANY CIRCA 1921-1932 (12 GA WITH FOUR SHOT MAGAZINE) Serial number 1992 (just ahead of the trigger guard and on left side of the magazine tube.

Patented by Fritz Walther in 1918 in Germany and 1921 in the U.S., these were the Walther Company`s first long arms, but they were actually made by Deutsche Werk or possibly Ortgies. It uses a "toggle" locking system (similar to a Luger pistol) and unique magazine system. It is believed that production was fewer than 5,000 guns, made circa 1921-1932 when Walther declared it "had not been very successful" and dropped it to concentrate on pistols and some traditional double barrel guns. The only apparent variation in these is that some of the later guns has a sheet metal dust cover to protect the otherwise exposed ejection port where dirt could get into the bolt workings. The barrel is specifically marked to indicate use 12 Gauge cartridges with 65mm (2 1/2 inch) length, not the common U.S. 2 3/4 inch ammo. With the proer ammo these function okay, but have a vicious kick, as Ian discovered in the following video. Information is very limited on these with the best summary by Ian McCollum at

However, with proper ammo, these seem to run pretty reliably as shown in this video from somewhere else.

John M. Browning did invent a workable toggle type shotgun (the prototype is in the Museum in Ogden, Utah), but fearing possible infringement on the Walther patent, it was never developed for sale.

These are interesting historic arms by virtue of being one of the few sporting longarms made by Walther, and one of the few early competitors for the Browning Auto-5 design. Survival rate is pretty low as most were sold in Europe and lost during WW2, and they rarely come up for sale in the U.S. This was one of the more important items in John`s award winning display "Repeating Shotguns 1867-1940" which compared John M. Browning`s five different repeating shotgun designs against the competition.

Overall condition of this example is excellent, all correct, original and unmodified. About 95% blue remains, and the walnut stock shows only light wear or dings from limited field use, with nice varnished finish. The 27.5 inch barrel has a bead on ramp front sight, and a superb mirror bright bore. The cocking handle on the right side of the receiver pivots down to open the bolt and the botton on the bottm of the receiver is the bolt release. The catch on the left side of the receiver is pulled back slightly to drop the rear of the magazine tube for loading. Appears to be in excellent mechanical condition. Only defects noted are a small crack (about 1 inch) extending back from the left side of the receiver, a boogered corner on the top rear of the left side of the forend, and an additional screw added to the buttplate. A magnificent example of a scarce but important bit of firearms technology and history, which most people have never seen or heard about. $2250.00 (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)

SMOF7588 - WW2 U.S. MILITARY REMINGTON MODEL 11 SEMI-AUTO 12 GAUGE SHOTGUN- Serial number 469387, with 30 inch full choke barrel. Sharp ordnance wheel cartouche on left side of the butt stock. "U.S. [ordnance bomb]" on the left side of the receiver, but not "MILITARY FINISH" as found on some. (You really need BOTH variations, don`t you?)

Nearly 60,000 Remington Model 11 shotguns were purchased for military use during WW2. Some were short barreled riot guns for use by guards, but many were 28 or 30 inch guns used to train aircrews and AA gunners in shooting at moving targets. This was made in June 1942, according to the Remington factory serial number notebook.

This has a 30 inch full choke barrel which is not serial numbered, and has the Remington date code on the bottom ESS for October 1947 manufacture. It is likely that the gun was originally a riot gun with 20 inch barrel, numbered to the gun and with a U.S. [ordnance bomb] on the top of the barrel. As the no longer needed riot guns hit the surplus market post WW2 many had choke tube or Cutts compensators or new barrels installed to make the guns more suitable for sporting purposes. Except for the lack of the military marks on the top of the barrel, this is exactly the same as the long barrel training shotguns delivered during WW2.

The semi-auto guns were preferred for gunnery training as they allowed the shooter to concentrate on aiming and firing without messing around working a pump action, and allowed several quick shots, much like the .50 BMG they would use in their aircraft. This is an excellent example of this desirable US Military shotgun with about 90-95% original blue finish. The stock has lot of the original varnish finish, with assorted scrapes and dings of a used training or hunting gun. The buttplate is the correct brown plastic REMINGTON type, and it has never been cut back or had a recoil pad installed. There are three small cracks on the left front of the butt stock where it fits the receiver, but they don`t seem to hurt anything. A good example of a WW2 U.S. military training shotgun very reasonably priced due to the changed barrel. You could return it to riot configuration by adding a US marked riot barrel, if you like. The Model 11, designed by John M. Browning was about the only really reliable and successful semi-auto shotgun from about 1905 to the 1960s, sold under the Remington brand, or made by FN as the Browning Auto-5, or Savage as the Model 720.
