The first place to check would be at a local gunshop. If that fails, try Numrich Gunparts

the barrels are bored out slightly larger than their actual gauge

Your Spencer Gun Co shotgun isa "Trade Brand Name" shotgun. That is a shotgun made by a major maker usually for a wholesaler or retailer who chose the name to go on the gun. In this case the gun was probably made by the Crescent Fire Arms Company of Norwich,CT (1892 to 1932) the largest maker ever of such guns. It was made for and sold at wholesale by the Hibbard Spencer Bartlett Co of Chicago, a large dealer in sporting goods. Best guess on a date would be sometime between 1910 and 1925.

Is this shotgun manufactured with a twist steel barrel

The Worthington was made by both Crescent and Stevens for George Worthington Company of Cleveland. Value is about $100 to $150, depending on condition and originallity

I think those were made by Zabala Hermanos. Typical marks are *** = imp. cylinder and ****=modified. However, a gunsmith with a bore gauge should be able to give you a true answer in about 30 seconds.

My Mossberg maverick holds seven without the tube plug

Depends of exact model, gauge and condition. You will need a hands on assessment, since it could run anywhere from $700 to $2,000 or so. Please take your (unloaded) shotgun to a reputable gun dealer or gun show near you for a better answer.

Your shotgun was made by MAVI di Salvinelli , Brescia, Gardone, VT, Italy and imported by Eagle Arms of New York, NY. Both of these firms are no longer in business.

I'm not an expert on shotguns, but my dad owns a Garbi. You can get a good used one (which is what most people do) from $2,000 to $6,000. New ones can be anywhere over $10,000.

The Mossberg 500 Stock is the stock for the Mossberg 500 shotgun. The stock would allow you to get a better grip on the shotgun and absorb some recoil from firing the shotgun.

They seem to be alright, but, depending on what market you're in, finding parts for them can be next to impossible.

$1600 if in excellent codition

I would use either a modified,or improved cylinder,choke for close in small bird hunting.

Contact Remington Customer Service through their website.

A shotgun needs wadding to prevent air or gas from leaking out. If the gas leaks out the gun has no compression meaning the ammunition won't go very far.

About $65-$75, depending on condition. Thee were low $$$ guns made by Crescent, who used about 100 different names. The Nitro Hunter was made for a chain of hardware stores.

I would advis you to have a competent gunsmith look your shotgun over first to see if it will fire safely.He can also advise you as to the length of chamber you have.I would only shoot the low brass shells in this shotgun.

Your H&R model 088 was made sometime between 1983-1986.

Janssen & Fils, Leige, Belgium, c 1890-1915. Several million similar utility shotguns were imported US in this time period, few of any collector interest. It probably has large side hammers that are attractive to decorators and damascus or twist barrels that are probably no longer safe for use. SHOULD NOT BE FIRED WITH MODERN AMMO. Leaves a value in the neighborhood of $125-$150 as a mantle piece.

From your description.The shotgun would be worth between 375-475 dollars,on today,s market.

Yes, shotguns and rifles can be carried among all the states with not problems.
