Are you sure that does not say Meriden- instead of Meridian? Meriden was a gunmaker in that time frame- they were owned by Sears, and made guns for them. If that is the name, value would depend on condition, but somewhere in the $150-$200 range. If you serach for Meriden Firearms, you can see the website with the company history.

Since Florida does not HAVE registration of ordinary firearms, there is nothing to transfer. You may give, sell or trade a firearm to another resident so long as you are both residents of Florida, and have no reason to believe the other person is prohibited from possessing a gun. They cannot possess a gun if they are a minor, have been convicted of a felony or crime of domestic violence, are a drug addict, an illegal alien, waiting trial for a felony, or are a fugitive from the law. People that have renounced their US citizenship, have been judged to be mentally incompetent or dishonorably discharged from the military are also prohibited. You can write up two copies of a bill of sale, listing name and address seller and buyer, description of gun, you both sign, each keeps a copy. Not required, but a good idea.

It is expressed as how many times larger the scope makes something appear to be. It can be determined mathmatically if the curve of the lenses are known.

They changed some over time, but I can identify at least a Winchester 97 and Winchester 1912 shotgun, and a Winchester 94 lever action rifle. The Sheriff usually kept his Colt .38 revolver in his desk.

The rack held six long guns but it varied from 4-6 through the eight seasons.

Well respected maker of high $$$$ guns in Herstal Belguim.

See the link below for the history on the company web page. German gun maker.

It will vary depending on the rifle, the type of action, and caliber. For a .22 rimfire, the magazine is loaded, the bolt operated manually to chamber the first cartridge. The safety is released and the trigger pulled. This releases that catch on the hammer/striker, which is driven forward by a spring. This drives the firing pin forward, striking the primer. The primer fires, igniting powder, producing gasses that drive the bullet down the barrel. The gasses also "blow back" the heavier bolt, which extracts and ejects the fired cartridge. It compresses the hammer spring, and cocks the hammer. At the end of it travel to the rear, the bolt is pushed back forward by it's spring, stripping a fresh cartridge from the magazine, and pushing it into the chamber, ready to fire. Unlike heavier caliber rifles, the bolt is not locked in the firing position, but held in place by a spring.

Heavier caliber rifles are usually gas operated- a part of the gasses from the shot being fired are used to drive a piston to the rear. That causes the bolt to unlock, and move back, ejecting and extracting the fired cartridge, and picking up a fresh cartridge from the magazine as it moves back forward.

yes

The ones the US navy has developed shoot projecticles at mach 5.

There IS no law requiring the registration of any ordinary firearms in Pennsylvania. Like most of the US, PA has no mechanism to register firearms. However, all sales of handguns, including a private sale from one person to another, must pass thru a licensed gun dealer, who will conduct a background check on the recipient of the gun.

Around 1967 is my best guess. Canada did not require serial numbers until 1961. That was the year that Winchester bought Cooey, and continued manufacture until the mid 1970s. Unfortunately we do not have a public database on Cooey SNs.

No one answer, as there is no one gun. The safety on the 1911A1 .45 pistol is fairly easy to release- press down with your thumb. The safety on the Mosin-Nagant 91/30 rifle is VERY hard to turn. Different for each gun.

Rifles, shotguns, handguns, machine guns. Mainly rifles and shotguns.

Your shotgun was made between 1950 and 1955. The law did not require serial numbers on rifles and shotguns until 1968. Simply put, your Mossberg has never HAD a serial number. Yes, it is legal to possess. It is NOT legal to remove a serial number, but if the gun never had one, that's OK. 1950-1955

No. Made a great fantasy for a movie, but the story is based on a work of fiction. The German military had a large gun emplacement at Longues-sur-Mer in Normandy France- but that was not as large or as well protected as the guns in Navarone.

Yes, as it is originally configured with a fixed 10 round magazine and a fixed stock.

with a permit, yes.

NO! CLP, yes. CLR is a strong acid that is meant for cleaning toilets and sinks. It will corrode a gun.

The Mossberg 500 series is the best self defense hand gun in the 200 to 300 dollar range.

As written your question is rather confusing. Please rewrite, repost, we'll try to get you an answer.

There are more than 3- but for a start-

1. Assume all guns are loaded until YOU have checked that they are not.

2. Never point a gun at anything you do not want to destroy.

3. Keep your finger OFF the trigger and OUT of the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot.

They WERE made in Spain. Uncertain if the maker is still in operation.
