Shotguns

The 'maximum' range of ashotgun differs, I suggest getting a friend to stand around 10 metres away, fire the shotgun at them, if they are hit then it is more than 10 metres.

20ga by the fact that there is more room in the cartridge for more powder & more shot. lcj

Its quite simple as that it ejects the shotgun shell out of the gun after it has been fired but this depends on the type. A double or single barrel shotgun would only eject the shells when u hit the release mechanism to reveal your side of the barrel then they eject out.On any other type shot gun where u load 8 or have a clip they generally fling out the side when re-cocked or if automatic they do this automatically. Hope i helped

6227 numbered W Richards. Norwich Conn. What year is this?

indicates that gun passed proof in 1941. m1 would indicate 1967. m2 1993. etc

The W. Richards shotguns were mainly made in Belgium. They were an attempt by Sears Roebuck Company to cash in on the well known English gunmaker Westley Richards, but have no connection to the Westley Richards Company. There were listed in the Sears catalogs from the late 1890s and early 1900s.

Try posting at Remington Society of America.

I happen to have one or two and I think they are worth $450-$650 depending on condition.

Impossible to answer. Need maker's name and description.

I have never heard of a commercially-made shotgun silencer (or suppressor, or moderator). But there's no reason why you could not have one custom made for you, or make your own, on a Form 1. Assuming you live in a place where there are no state or local laws against silencers, as long as they are federally registered to you. I would not expect it to be as quiet as a pistol suppressor. The holes in the baffles would have to be extra-wide to avoid the projectiles hitting the insides of the suppressor.

You can, but you should be careful about the chamber length. For example, the most common length for modern 12 gauge shells is 2 3/4", but older shotguns may only be chambered for 2 1/2" shells. So long as the chamber length is ok, it is certainly possible to load and shoot black powder with modern hulls. Appropriately sized plastic wads can also be used (I've used Winchester red AA wads with AA hulls, 80 grains of powder, 1 oz. of shot). You do tend to get some stringy plastic residue that has to be cleaned out of the bore. I've actually switched to using brass shotshells for black powder now.

The Crescent Gun Company made guns which were sold under assorted brand names back around the turn of the last century. "Essex", "Knickerbocker", "Lakeside", "American Gun Co."; an on-line search will turn up an amazing list of over a hundred names under which these low cost guns were marketed.

In many cases local hardware stores contracted with Crescent to have a small run of guns stamped with their store name. Essentially, anyone who had the cash could have Crescent guns stamped with their own brand name.

These were low budget guns of serviceable quality which have little to no collector value today.

None. Some handguns have been made that will fire .45 Long Colt revolver rounds and .410 shotgun shells, but that does not mean that you can take any .410 shotgun and stick .45 handgun ammo in there.

Can anyone help me find a firing pin for an American Eagle brand 410 shotgun model 70H 3" magnum? Please I have looked for a couple of years now and no success yet. Thanks, Fred

value varies depending on condition

choke restriction

guage 12 or 20 ga

double triggers or single ( you'll hear arguments for both as higher value)

Have seen sales from a lows of $750 to highs of $1250 over the last 2 years

not asking prices, actual sales

I'm not an expert but the research I've done shows that they are fairly utilitarian. They were mass produced and branded under many names the value is generally around $100-200.

Turkey...but it was designed in the U.S.A. and is supervised by Savage Management.

Precision Sales International of Westfield, Ma is the importer ot Marocchi shotguns.

50-600 USD or so

Why do you think? I face f**k you while your sleeping :)

We would need to know type (Single, double, pump or auto), model and approximate serial number (12345XX, last two numbers blank for privacy) and overall condition in order to answer this question.

Absolutely. Most people think of shot patterns in a 2-D view, where you want a "tighter" choke pattern meaning more pellets within a certain area. Those who do that are certainly mistaken, especially for bird hunters.

Shot patterns are most definitely a 3-D issue. While Patternmaster chokes don't necessarily give you the tighter pattern on a piece of paper, they concentrate the shot in a more dense package as far as depth is concerned. They work by slowing down the wad so the shot leaves the barrel in a tighter clump, therefore impacting the target with more pellets in a lesser time, therefore giving the shooter a harder impact and cleaner kills.

I hunt primarily upland game and waterfowl. The patternmaster has given me better results without doubts on Pheasant, duck, and goose.

hands down the best choke out there if anyone does their research.

There are many ways to sell a used shotgun or rifle. First, know the laws of your state, county, and city. Are there any permits required to possess? Any registration procedures to follow? Most states do not have any such restrictions beyond federal law, for most common sporting shotguns.

Second, you have to know the details about your gun. Manufacturer and brand, model number, barrel length, caliber or chambering, etc. Plan to tell people what kind of finish it has, what kind of stock (wood, synthetic, etc.) and what color (wood grain, camo, black, etc.). If you're going to advertise anywhere, you'll need some pictures you can post online or e-mail to potential buyers.

Then you ought to do some research about what your gun is worth. Look it up online. Take it to a gun store or pawn shop and see what they would offer you. See if they will look it up in the Blue Book of Gun Values. Go visit some gun auction websites and see what other people are selling theirs for.

Then when it comes to selling it, you need to advertise. Find some local and state-specific website for gun lovers, shooters, hunters, collectors, etc. Register there and see if you can post in the classified ad section.

FEDERAL LAW: You can only sell a gun to somebody who lives in the same state that you do. If an out-of-state person wants to buy your gun, you can't sell it directly to them, even if they come to your state to pick it up. You must send the gun to an FFL licensed gun dealer in their home state and they can pick it up at the dealer's business. This normally costs about $25 as a fee for the dealer, plus shipping costs (maybe $20 for long guns like a shotgun-- handguns are a lot more because they're so easily stolen the package companies want them to go "next day air.")

Good luck. I'm "lawguy_atlanta" but I forgot my password to log-in today.

Baker was one of the 6 major shotgun makers in the early 1900s- values will depend on the exact model and condition- and there were multiple models. 28 g guns frequently command a higher price due to rarity. While I would love to give you a value, any estimate would be a range of $100-$1000 or more. This will need a hands on appraisal- sorry. PS- Be certain that your shotgun is a Baker and not a Barker. Barker was a low cost Belgian made import sold by Sears in the late 1800s/ early 1900s. capitalizing on the names Baker and Parker- both well respected gun companies.
