No. Absolutely not.
Absolutely NOT. These guns were made from c.1890-1914 and have either twist or laminated steel barrels. They were never designed for the pressures of today's ammunition.
According to Parker Identification & Serialization, 196239 is a Grade 5 gun, Acme steel barrels, it is hammerless which was introduced in 1888, it has ejectors, has a straight grip, has a 12ga bore & has 34 inch long barrels.

That is not a question. It is a statement with a question mark at the end. A question usually has who, what, when, where, why or how in it somewhere.
Try on line auctions, gun shops, gun shows, pawn shops, estate sales, garagle sales, want ad, for sale ad, egunparts.
Depends on condition. The REAL Acme shotgun (not the one that Wile E. Coyote had) was made in Belgium around 1890. These were not high dollar guns when new. Average condition- $125-$190.
Seldom go beyond 100 USD
There ARE other markings on the shotgun, you just have to look to find them. Assuming your gun is a single-shot break-open shotgun, it was probably made by the WH Davenport Firearms Co from c.1885-c.1910. ACME was a known tradename used by this company. If the marking is actually ACME ARMS CO, and it is a single-shot shotgun, it is probably a Stevens product as made for Cornwall Hardware in New York around the same time period. In either case, there is no collector interest and resale prices are below $100. PLEASE have the gun checked over by a competent gunsmith before attempting to shoot it - these guns were never designed for the pressure curve of today's ammunition. ACME was also a tradename applied to inexpensive pocket revolvers by various makers.
$25 to $75. Could break $100 if it is in absolutely like-new condition.
