They made 4 models of modestly priced boxlocks and sidelocks, hammerless and hammer guns in each action in the years before WWI. Hopkins and Allen took them over around 1900.

Thanks to all for any and all help help you can provide! My grandpa would have understood my willingness to convert this gun into potential reinvestment into another gun - like a Mossberg 500! Is there someone out there who really loves these enough to want to buy this one? My questions are:Ĭan I retire off the proceeds of it sale? I am not familiar with shotgun gauges, but the barrel I.D.s are about 19/32nds at the end, and 3/4'' at the breech. The barrel has not been sawed off and is 26'' long. Both cheek plates are nicely blued, but the rest of the metal is a smooth glossy brown. It has checkering on the fore grip, but not on the stock. It is missing the left firing pin, as well as a small piece of the wood stock immediately behind missing pin. I have a very old one, given to me,(now 53), by my grandpa back when I was 12.
