Shotguns

A convicted felon may not purchase, possess, or have access to firearms ANYWHERE in the United States as per federal law.

Before 1916- That is when H&A closed their doors.

Yes. The Mossberg 500A1 is a .12 gauge shotgun.

No. There are, however, .22 caliber shotshells made for rifles.

There may be a screw under the fore end. If so, remove it.

If there is no screw, or once the screw is removed, the fore end should pull away from the barrel, at its front. It may take some effort and may be held in place by spring tension.

Once it comes loose, the barrel can then be opened normally, and will dismount from the receiver pivot.

To reassemble, set the barrel in place, set the fore end against the receiver, and snap it back up against the barrel. Then replace the screw if there is one.

No. A convicted felon cannot hold a shotgun in ANY state. If they have gone thru the process for restoration of rights, and the conviction was for a STATE crime, they could. Federal crime- no restoration of rights possible.

Only down to 18 inches, and it must still have an overall length of at least 26 inches.

Pachmayr did not make guns, they made stocks and grips.

The age and value of a 410 double barrel shotgun with serial number T15685 can vary significantly based on the manufacturer, condition, and historical significance. Generally, shotguns with serial numbers starting with "T" could indicate they were made in the mid-20th century, but specific identification would require more details about the manufacturer. The model number, if applicable, would typically be found on the shotgun itself, often near the serial number or on the barrel. For an accurate valuation and identification, consulting a firearms expert or appraiser is recommended.

Yes.

On line auctions, gun shops, gun shows, pawn shops.

It will depend on year and condition. However, Stevens are a reliable but inexpensive gun that typically are worth $75-$300 in 12 gauge double format, in 2012.

In most cases, no. Since shotguns are generally smoothbore, and fire loose shot rather than a single projectile, it does not impart markings to the projectiles. It will produce fire pin/extractor marks on the fired shell.

1. Take it to a gunsmith

2. Less expensive, but also lower quality- you can do it yourself. Companies like Birchwood-Casey make a DIY Cold Blue kit. Cold blue is not as dark, nor as durable as a professional hot blue job, but it is much safer to try at home.

Something in the range of 10 years and $10,000 fine if not properly documented. Acceptable licensing would include its classification as an "AOW" (Any Other Weapon) by the BATFE with the appropriate (and inexpensive) tax stamp.

After that, if you have a defaced mossberg shotgun, its worth less than a pretty one.

Assuming your shotgun has two triggers, you can fire either first.

If you have one trigger, the order of fire can vary massively...use a gauge to check the bore on your gun, If you don't have one just use a coin and see how far it will go down the front of the barrel, or make a target out of cardboard to see which barrel is the more open barrel, by patterning the barrels.

once you know which barrel is the the more open choke, you are ready to determine which barrel you want to shoot first, and as a quail hunter on the rise you will usually shoot the barrel with the more open choke first, saving the tighter choked barrel , as the game gets farther away.
