Firearms
Values are based on the actual condition of the firearm and whether any modifications have been done to it, such as re-bluing or drilling and tapping for scope mounts, etc. Condition depends on how much of the original finish (stock and metal) is remaining and if there are any dings, dents, scratches, etc on it. It's really best to take the firearm to someone local or to a gun show for an estimate of worth.

What does a firearm safety do?
It prevents the firearm from discharging before the shooter means to have it discharge.
Simmons Hardware was a large chain. In the early 1900s, many companies sold what were known as "Hardware guns" or "store brand guns". One manufacturer, Crescent, made over 2 million shotguns under more than 400 different store names. If you owned Fred's hardware store, if you ordered 12 shotguns, Crescent would make them, and they would be stamped Fred's Hardware. Such was the case with Simmons (they bought a lot more than 12) Unfortunately, there are limited records, since shotguns were not regulated as they are today. 12 g shotguns were most common, 20 g less common.

Where is the serial number on 12 gauge American gun?
It may not have one. Assuming yours is a break-action shotgun, they were made by Crescent. Crescent made over 2 million shotguns under about 425 different trade names (American was the name used for guns made for Sears). Shotguns were not required by law to HAVE a serial number until 1968, and your gun was made well before the, HOWEVER- if there is a serial number, it is likely found on the portion of the frame that is covered by the breech end of the barrels. Remove the barrels, and look at the part of the frame that they concealed.
What calibers of lugars were made?
The Luger pistol (check your spelling) was originally made in 7.65 Luger- a bottlenecked cartridge. This later changed to 9MM Parabellum- commonly called 9mm Luger or 9x19. There was a subcaliber insert that could be used for training that fired a very small 4mm cartridge. Lugers have also been made in .22LR, .32 Auto, .380 auto and rarely, 45 auto.

Where can you purchase an affordable riflemans rifle?
If you mean the rifle used in the TV series The Rifleman, that was a modified Winchester Model 1892- which is a rather pricy collector's rifle.

What is the best handgun for a woman?
One of the best handguns for a woman would be the Ruger.
Answer:
You've entered an area where opinions are likely to vary widely.
How you intend to use the handgun is the most important factor in deciding what size and weight handgun you should get. If it is not to be carried but kept in a nightstand or glove compartment I would recommend a larger frame revolver similar to the Smith & Wesson Model model 64 or model 10 (used or new once they are available again) in a 4" barrel.
If you carry it with you and you carry a large purse consider one similar to the Smith & Wesson Model 642.
If you carry a small purse consider a North American Arms model NAA-22LR (short barrel 22 long rifle). Or if you can stand a little more size and weight the North American Arms Black Widow. But, these guns will require more practice to use.
All of the above guns are revolvers. Most people what automatics because they are jazzier looking. That's why you see them on CSI and other TV crime shows. But, revolvers are more reliable (they're almost certain to shoot when you pull the trigger) and easier to learn to use and handle safely than automatics.
I say similar to Smith & Wesson above because I'm not touting that brand, just the type of handgun. Colt, Ruger and Taurus sell good revolvers.
Some generalizations.
- The heavier the gun the gentler the recoil but the more weight to carry. The greater the recoil the harder it is to shoot without flinching. You must try to get comfortable with the recoil. Some people will try to get you to shoot .357. Don't! At least until you've had experience with 38 special and lower calibers.
- The longer the barrel the easier it is to hit your target and the more punch the hit will have. But, the harder it is to carry.
Is a model 700 classic 257 Roberts a long action?
Probably. The .257 Bob has a case length of 2.233, longer than the .308 Winchester (2.015). However, on a Model 700, measure distance between the receiver screws. If it is 6.5 inches, THAT rifle is a short action. 7.35 inches, long action.
Where is the primer located on a rifle cartridge?
It is located on the rear of the cartridge. If it is a rimfire, such as .22 Long Rifle, it is in the folded rim of the cartridge. Larger cartridges, such as the 30-30, are centerfire, and the primer is located at the rear center of the cartridge.

How old is your 38 special hand gun MOD RG 40 serial number 015615?

There is no public database showing year of production. Please have yours inspected by a qualified pistol smith before firing it. Many of the RG firearms are unsafe to fire.

Janssen & Fils, Leige, Belgium, c 1890-1915. Several million similar utility shotguns were imported US in this time period, few of any collector interest.
