  1. Shotgun Gun ID Archive
    Howdy! I am watching a Browning BSS on an online auction but question its serial number. It ends in "PV918" which tells me it's an '85 but the 918 is throwing me off. It is pictured very well and you can zoom in to see it isn't a typing mistake. Anyone have any idea what the 918 indicates...
  2. General Shotgun Discussions
    After shooting a Browning Sweet 16 for 35 years, I transitioned this past season to a two-trigger AYA SxS. Things have gone well, with one exception: Where to place my trigger finger when walking up to flush a covey of birds that my dog has pointed. With the Browning, I kept my finger on the...

  4. Shotgun ID & Value
    1915 Ithaca Flues 1 1/2 12ga 26" barrel w/ Krupp fluid steel barrels. Rolled dog engraving with zig zag border and matching serial numbers. I bought this with assurances it was rare and I can't find this combo anywhere online. It's in excellent condition. Can anyone help with any more info...
  5. Spanish Shotguns
    Hey everyone, got a Spanish SxS in the mail yesterday, marking I.G. ("Armas "Lamber" or Gregorio Zabala"?). It's in extremely good condition, both externally and internally (as far as I can tell); it locks up tight and works as expected. I've been able to figure out most of the important stuff...
  6. Shotgun ID & Value
    I have an old Merkel 12ga SxS I picked up at a gun show years ago. I have been trying to do some research, but have been unable to narrow down what exact model it is. From the number/date code on the water table (3/26) I know that it was made in March of 1926. While it is hard to find much info...
  7. Bird Hunting
    I just picked up a stevens 16 gauge sxs choked modified/full. I plan on openening the chokes up but am on the fence as to which combination makes the most sense. I'd like to here your arguments for sk1/sk2 and cyl/ic. I'm hunting in Northern Michigan and grouse and woodcock are really the only...
  8. Shotgun Opinions
    Hey guys I just picked up a pretty nice old stevens/savage 5100 16 gauge side by side. My intention is to use it as a back up to my model 12 for rainy days or when i just feel like packing a sxs. I was wonder what your experiences with these older stevens guns were and your thoughts on them. I...
  9. Shotgun ID & Value
    Just picked this up at a local gun show and wondering what kind of ID I could get on it. All the numbers I see on this gun all match. I can take more specific photos if it would help, just let me know what you need. This is my first sxs shotgun, have wanted one forever and really liked the...
  10. Stoeger Shotguns
    I recently purchased a NIB Stoeger 12 gauge Longfowler at an estate auction. The shotgun was listed in the auction as a Longfowler, but I am wondering if it is not an Uplander. The receiver is stamped Longfowler, but the barrels are stamped Uplander. The factory box had no label on it when I...
  11. 1912 Francotte 12 SxS.

    This is a beautiful hand made, scrolled and engraved Francotte boxlock, with 3rd bite lock up and Greener crossbolt. It has auto ejectors, auto safety, and ivory bead sight.
  12. Shotgun Opinions
    I recently purchased an old British hammer gun via gunpost.ca. The previous owner claimed he had it looked at by a gunsmith and was told it was safe to shoot, and had put a box of modern 2¾ target load through it. I'm fairly ignorant on the topic but I do know if an older gun has not been...
  13. Shotgun ID & Value
    I’ve been posting on multiple forums in search of info on this old Sauer & Sohn SXS 16g. It’s in really good condition for an old weapon but I’m still in unsure of what year it was made, who made it, where it was made etc. If anyone can help me out with any info they have it would be greatly...
