Where can you find information about and parts for a 410 Western Field XNH 480 D pump shotgun?
Take it to a gunsmith. He has much better availability for parts. Western Field was a Montgomery Wards brand, so there isn't going to be a lot of collector interest.

Where could one find a Remington Model 110 12 gauge pump shotgun?
No such model is listed in the Blue Book or Standard Catalog.
What is the value of a Charles Daly 10 gauge side by side twin trigger shotgun?
The 23rd edition of the Bluebook of Gun Values indicates the Field II Hunter model 10 gauge side by side is worth $635.00 at the 100% condition and 340 at the at the 90% condition. Ross Rossander If I may add to the answer it would be that value depends on who built the gun and when. Some of the more modern guns can be very cheap indeed but some of the older German guns can be worth thousands. We need much more info to give any real answer of value.
Is a Baikal IZH27 or Charles Daly Field Hunter better for skeet shooting?
Go with the Baikal. The Daly is nice but for a day of skeet it's to light. It will kick hard and a lot.
Another point of view might be, what is better for driving on the open road, a truck or a sports car? A Baikal is reputed to be a functional, durable gun, and a good value for the dollar. The Charles Daly guns will have a finer fit and finish, and more or fancier features than the Baikal. A duck or a clay pigeon won't notice a difference at all. Your budget and your taste are the factors that determine which is better for you.
In my opinion it is a complete joke to compare a Baikal to a Charles Daily or any other high quality shotgun. In my opinion, ( after having experienced owning a couple of Baikals ) the difference is as great as the east is from the west. I had many problems with my Baikals. They both malfunctioned mechanically right out of the box. Ask a competent gunsmith to give you an objective evaluation of Baikal shotguns. Although I like an aesthetically appealing gun, function concerning firearms is paramount. They simply must function properly and dependably time after time. A double gun having a single trigger requires a very sophisticated mechanism and with it a high cost as compared to other type actions. I have owned 5 cheapies - a cosmetically pretty little side by side made in Spain - it doubled, a O/U J.C. Higgins about 30 years ago - it doubled, a Fox 20 side by side (not too cheap) and it did not eject properly,a O/U Baikal - more malfunctions than I care to go into, A Baikal side by side 12 - the design caused the trigger not to work on the second barrel - the gunsmith told me it was just cheap bad design. My Browning never malfunctions - and I am confident it won't in the future. My SKB 20 ga. O/U functions flawlessly. One other thing. When we look at guns we have to remind ourselves what we really want in a gun. Personally, I like a gun with a traditional look not a Rambo military look. I like a gun to look and "feel " sleek. When I bought the Baikal O/U, I was so single track minded to buy an inexpensive double, I forgot about the qualities I wanted. It was like pointing a fence post and the balance also resembled a club. The Russians have proved that they can make fine quality guns - but not Baikal. ( personal opinion and that of my gunsmith)
A guy on another web site said he had seen more than one Baikal that could not even be assembled right out of the box. How's that for quality control?
I can not speak for the "Daly" but own a IZH27 among my many Russian weapons. I have shot at least a dozen Russian shotguns. Those who owned them and my self have never had a problem one. Say what you will about fit and finish...mine is fine for what I use it for...they shoot just as well as anything else out there. 98% of it is up to you anyway. Over 1000 rounds through my IZH27 in the last 8 months with no problem. My first year shooting clays and I am very competitive with the group of old timers I shoot with. More often than not I am in the top 3 high scorers out of 12 or more shooters. Most of these guys are using $1500-$3000 dollar guns. Baikal has earned respect at the 3 ranges I shoot at. For skeet, I'd recommend the 26" barrel vs the 28". If you plan on participating in other clay sports or using it in the field, stick with the 28". Also, just from a cleaning stand point, I'd opt not to get the ported version again...although the ports do lessen felt recoil.
ANSWERFirst off, are you comparing two different types of shotguns? Do you mean the Charles Daly Field Hunter semi auto shotgun? If so, the semi-auto Charles Daly's aren't of the same quality as the Charles Daly double guns. They aren't even made in the same country! I have seen lots of Charles Daly semi's and pumps for sale very cheaply in LIKE NEW condition! ASk why? Buyers are very disappointed! Charles Daly USED to be a good quality firearm. They outsource everything now. Even their hanguns are made by several different manufacturers in different countries. Quality countrol is all over the place. I believe their double guns are made in SPAIN now, but semi's are made in Turkey. The Turks make a VERY good double gun, but semi's are suspect in quality. The Russian's have always made their guns strong and heavy! They never made a good looking gun as far as PRETTY goes, but traditionally they make guns that are hard to break!I want to question the one person's response about owning several Baikal's and never getting a good one, but you never have problems with your top end gun? I think you sound just like every other elitest shotgun owner out there! You never really owned a Baikal, but you know nobody will listen to your opinion unless you say you have owned one and had troubles with it If you had such bad luck, why on earth did you keep trying them? You sound like the elitest snob who cannot accept that Baikal owners got just as good of a gun functionality-wise as you did for less than $400!Go with the Baikal!!! Remington thinks they're good enough to make the same gun with their name on it! Spartan!!!
What is the value of a Charles Daly over and under 12 ga SN76500?
Charles Daly shotguns were made by several of the best European and American arms makers from around 1875 to the mid-late 1930's by Schoverling, Daly & Gates. These were some of the finest shotguns of the time and can sell for several thousand dollars. In the 1960's and 70's, they were produced by Miroku Company in Japan. These are becoming collectible and can retail for $1,500-$3,000 in top condition. Current Daly O/U shotguns are manufactured in Italy and are excellent firearms. There are forty different models listed in the Blue Book. A Field grade in 60% condition, lists at about $200, but a Diamond Regent GTX EDL Hunter in 100% is $23,000. If your gun has fancy wood, fine engraving and/or precious metal inlays, you should take it to an expert for a written appraisal. what is the Charles daly worth over and under serial number152978
What is the price of a Charles Daly shotgun over and under 12 ga serial number is 176500?
The CD shotgun is a fine quality o/u. I have had two over the years.The early guns had v- springs for main springs and the newer ones hadcoils. If your gun has v-springs in is VERY important to use snap capsto relieve the tenson during storage. Without seeing the gun is would beimpossable to give you a value, but I would say from 450 to 600 would beclose.
What is the value of a Charles Daly 12 gauge shotgun with serial number DU00643?
The actual value of a gun can change drastically depending on the condition, proven provenance, rarity, and the current market demand. Demand is constantly changing, which means the value is constantly changing. The condition would include the finish and mechanical wear. Even in rough condition, a gun with proven provenance could still be quite valuable. Modern Gun Values or the Gun Trader's Guide are both good sources of information. Current editions of these books can be picked up at common places such as Wal-Mart or Barnes and Nobles.
Which is better for skeet shooting a Baikal IZH27 or Charles Daly Field Hunter?
Go with the Baikal. The Daly is nice but for a day of skeet it's to light. It will kick hard and a lot.
What is the Value of Charles Daly shotgun?
To answer the question, need more info. Proof marks. dimensions etc
Some years ago I bought a Charles Daly shotgun. In as found condition,it is a fairly old gun-Damascus bbls, twin hammers, very nice wood, some engraving, some rust but relatively clean bores. It has a "button" that stands up to the rear of the breech that you press to open the breech. 12Ga.,it appears to be a gun that cost the original buyer some pretty good money. Much less well finished shotguns were likely available at the time to less particular buyers. I don't have the gun here at the present time so I can't give dimensions,etc. In having bought numerous objects that day, I didn't have to pay a great deal for this gun, which was a part of what I bought.The stock had been fractured years ealier and repaired with no losses. Guessing, this gun refurbished might have a value of $500-$750.
Daly guns our of many makers and alot of difference in value. A Daly gun made by the great Lindner in a top grade can bring $25,000 or more but the current Turkey guns may only bring a couple of hundred. The ole Daly guns were mostly made in Germany and these are the guns that bring real money. The Daly name was sold and in the sixties Daly guns were imported from Japan and some from Italy. The Japan guns were made by Miroku the same company that make the Browning Citori and the older BSS. Its these Daly's that are undervalued and sell in the $500. to $1,000. dollor range. The Daly name then went to some Spanish makers and now Turkey with these last two makers taking big - hits on resale.
I have been collecting Pre-War Charles Daly's for many years. I specialize in the higher grade gun like the Charles Daly Diamond grade and the Charles Daly Regent Diamond grades. Plus Drillings and any other special order guns.
Feel free to call me to discuss your specific gun. Oct 2012

Where can you find parts for an old shotgun?
The Online Gun auction site Gunbroker is good source for "parts guns", which are completed, but inoperable guns being sold for the parts value. There are also "Parts Kits" which are all of the parts that have been stripped off of guns being destroyed by a Police or Sheriff department. Typically the frame/receiver section is cut up and everything else... barrel, internal parts, stocks, etc. are sold.
Ebay, which recently reversed a policy decision to not allow firearm parts (The ban came shortly after the Virgina Tech shootings), has again become a source of parts. As always "buyer beware" as those venues are subject to parts dumping, plus with any used part, you have to approach it with the knowledge that the past history of the gun that the part came off of is unknown, so the condition of part itself in doubt.
Where can you get replacement stocks for Charles Daly firearms?
In the Philippines. you can order any part of Charles Daly in the Philippines. because Charles Daly is manufactured by ARMS CORPORATION ( ARMSCOR )
Parts for every firearm that I've ever owned, including stocks, are usually carried in stock by the manufacturer. That would be the first place I would try, at least as long as the gun is still being manufactured, or recently discontinued. In the manual for the last Ruger long gun I bought, a list of parts and prices was included in the owner's manual.
100s of Original Miroku manufactured Charles Daly Wood Stocks & Forearms are available at: B&C Gunsmithing - bncgunsupplies@npgcable.com. There are over 10,000 Charles Daly / Miroku parts (all kinds) in stock.
These have been out of manufacture for more than 40 years and when Sloan Sports quit the importation of these guns, their entire spare parts stock was sold to Garfield Guns of Garfield New Jersey. When Garfield Guns closed their doors several years ago, their entire stock of spare parts was sold to B&C Gunsmithing of Lake Havasu City AZ.
Modern Charles Daly guns were manufactured in Turkey and imported by KBI Inc.. Charles Daly (KBI) and ARMSCOR do not have spare parts for Miroku manufactured Charles Daly guns.
Update: KBI has closed its doors, leaving owners of the newest Charles Daly guns "high and dry". Unfortunately, there does not appear to be a good source for these parts...
Where can you get a slug barrel for your Charles Daly 12 gauge auto?
I believe only Charles Daly offers barrels for its guns. I haven't found them anywhere else. You will find an 18 inch, 12 ga. slug barrel at:

Who made Charles Daly 10 gauge percussion double barrel shotguns?
You will need to do a detailed inspection. Schoverling & Daly imported shotguns under the Charles Daly name from makers in Prussia (like Schiller and Lindner), Germany (like Heym and Sauer), J&W Tolley of England, Newmann of Belgium, and even LeFever Arms of New York. If you do not know how to disassemble your gun to examine (and reassemble, of course), take it to a reputable gunsmith. The maker's marks and European proofs are there somewhere. The firm of Shoverling and Daly came into being in 1874. I really think that there qouls be few percussion guns sold by Daly. They prided themselves on selling the very best and latest. With this in mind, they were concentrating on breech actioned shotguns. To my knowledge they were buying guns from England and Belgiaum at their beginning. This has to be a pinned gun. Take the forend off and remove the barrels. Look at the proofmarks to see if it be English or Belgian. If German or any of the German States, there will be no proof marks. Same for US production. Hope this is helpful. Best, John
What is the value of a double barrel Charles Daly with hammers and serial no.1095?
This sounds like a nineteenth century Prussian made gun. Get thee to a really reputable appraiser. depends on condition. post pictures. Your gun was most probably built by Schilling in Suhl. Depending on condition, it is worth between $300 aqnd $700. Best, John
$900-$1000
Why won't a Daly 20 gauge auto let the shells drop from the magazine to load?
This gun should be cleaned completely to give it the smooth action it needs to load the shells from the mag to the chamber,completly disassemble and clean each part. use a good lub on the slideing parts
How do you find your gun by serial number?
If you know the name of the manufacturer and the model, you can sometimes find some more information from the serial number by contacting the manufacturer or whoever holds the company records, but usually there is little available except the year of manufacture.
Assuming excellent or unfired condition, $400 to 500.
What is the value of a Charles daly model 500 DB 20 ga-3 serial 193988 made in japan?
This gun is made by Miroku and virtually the same as the Miroku Model 500, except more common since Miroku branded guns were not sold in the US. In good condition your gun might sell for $700 or more. Gunsamerica.com currently has a 12 ga for sale at $795 and the 20 ga in the same condition should be worth more since the smaller bores are less common. There are variables such as barrel length, condition, etc., that should be considered in determining price. You can search and find more listings for your gun by adding: side by side, SxS, or double barrel to Charles Daly Model 500. Some listings will have prices and pictures for you to compare.
Is there a miroku sxs model LII?
Yes, very nice s/s with case hardened receiver, double triggers and English stock with fine checkering.
What is the twist rate in a interarms mark x in the 308 win caliber?
Use a cleaning rod with a patch on it. Lay the rifle down with the rod just entering the chamber end of the barrel. The patch should be seated into the lands. Put a piece of masking tape on the cleaning rod near the handle. Mark a spot on the tape. Lay a ruler beside the cleaning rod and make a note of where the tape is in relations to it. Slide the rod into the barrel and note when the mark you made makes one full revolution. Stop. Measure the distance. Chances are it is 1 in 8".
