Shotguns

Right here is one place. New York Arms Co. was a trade name used by the H.& D. Folsom Arms Company on firearms made for the Garnet Carter Company of Chattanooga, TN.....which means that it's about a 99.9% chance that it was made by Crescent. If a store paid for the cost of the metal stamp, Crescent would put the name of your store- or any name- on a run of at least 10 guns.

I have had a Zabala SRC Eibar 12 ga and have used the gun for 35 years with out a problem. It has been very reliable. I would classify it has a heavy and very solid firearm. My wife bought it for me on our 3rd Christmas in 1976. It now has a special spot in my collection and is used only occasionally. I thought it would loosen up but everything still seems to be tight.

In good to very good condition, your grandfather's 16 ga. is worth around $ 70 U.S. to $100. U.S.These H&R's are known to be trustworthy, when properly taken care of, and if it is in good shape, its best value would be as a trusty single bbl shotgun to hunt or protect your home. Be sure to know the proper shell/chamber size. (that should be stamped on top of the bbl just at the break.) these shotguns were made to chamber 2 3/4 shels and two others, i think. Many gun parts dealers on-line can establish your gun's manufacture date with the serial #.

Though it may be old, these guns were made for work, and were never fancy. So what?

One of the most dependable shotguns ever produced, and by a distinguished maker. Keep it up, and pass it along until it is replaced by the Phaser.

S.H.C. stood for Shapleigh Hardware Company. The shotgun was more than likely made by either a Belgium company or Cresent Fire Arms Com.. It was very common in the late 1800's and early 1900's for arms companies to stamp the hardware stores "logo" on a shotgun or .22 for a fee.

It s a Stevens model 311D double barrel shotgun serial number A226687 16 gauge. everything is on the side of the shotgun.

Hello I live in New Zealand and I have a shotgun that sounds exactly the same description and it is a great shotgun. I can shoot it well and even though it is really old I can outshoot most of the shooters on my clay target team with it. Originally I got the gun as a gift from my friend who said he picked it up at a gun show for just 40 NZD, however I did some research and these are quite rare weapons and are actually worth around 200 to 350 NZD in good condition. I hoppe this helps adn good luck with future deals,

If the gun is 100%, straight stock, and in excellent fired condition; currently, you are looking at around $950 market value. The price goes down from there...

Yes, the.22 caliber rifle is perhaps the most common firearm in the US. The .22 cartridge is also used in handguns. Search Wilipedia for .22 Long rifle, and it will have information on the cartridge used by rifles and handguns. I have about 30 different .22 caliber rifles in my collection- they are accurate, inexpensive, ammuntion is not expensive, they have very little recoil, and my grandkids like to shoot them.

The year I herd from a few sources and other people they said it was built in was 1937-1939. 1937-1939.

Without knowing the exact model or the condition, we cannot estimate the value of the gun you have. Here is some information on your gun-Syracuse Arms Company was organized by Frank Hollenbeck in 1893 after he left his position as the plant superintendent for Baker Gun and Forging Company of Batavia, NY. Between 1893 and July of 1895, Hollenbeck had nine patents assigned to Syracuse Arms Company, and guns made during this time were known as “The Hollenbeck”.

In July of 1895, Hollenbeck left Syracuse Arms Company to organize the Hollenbeck Hygienic Bicycle Seat Company, and the gun’s name was consequently changed to “The Syracuse”.

Syracuse Arms Company guns were made in two series. Stock guns were made in the following grades:

Grade No. 00 -Triplet (fluid) Steel barrels (introduced 1901) and no engraving

Grade No. 0 -New Twist Steel barrels with no engraving

Grade No. 1 -New Twist Steel barrels and some engraving

Grade No. 2 -Improved Damascus Steel barrels and no engraving

Grade No. 3 -Improved Damascus Steel barrels and some engraving.

At some point, the company dropped Grade NO. 1 from the offerings.

Custom-made guns came in grades A, A-1 Special, B, C, and the top of the line D with barrels of Krupp, Whitworth Fluid-Compressed or Finest-Grade Damascus Steel. The engraving and checkering/carving quality and quantity became more elaborate, and stock quality increased in the higher grades. Only three D Grade guns are known to exist.

The Hammerless guns were initially offered in 10- and 12-gauges, with the 16-gauge being added in 1901, and the 20-gauge in 1902. Barrel lengths were available in 26 to 32 inches depending on the gauge.

A limited run of hammer guns was introduced in 1904, and they were supplied with Triplet Steel barrels. One would assume that these hammer guns were Grade 00 since Triplet Steel Barrels were also supplied on the Grade 00 hammerless guns.

There is no indication in available references regarding how many hammer guns were made, but it couldn’t have been many, making hammer guns somewhat rare.Syracuse Arms Company ceased advertising in May of 1905, and production was halted shortly thereafter.There are no production records in existence for Syracuse Arms Company. However, it is estimated that about 40,000 guns were produced.

Hammerless guns in good or better condition are currently being offered on a few collector websites in the range of $475 to $900. No hammer guns are currently listed for sale, but it is expected that a hammer gun in equivalent condition and grade would equal or exceed the value of a hammerless gun.Shotguns of this era may have Damascus, Twist or Laminated Steel barrels which are not considered safe with modern ammunition. Even if the gun has fluid steel barrels, the chambers may be shorter than today’s 2 3/4″ length shells. If using is contemplated, an evaluation by a competent gunsmith to determine barrel steel composition and chamber length is recommended. Modern 2 ¾” shells fired in a short chamber produces dangerously high pressures and can damage the gun and injure the shooter or bystanders. If deemed safe to use, only light field or target loads can be recommended.

Recoil, considering the load (gunpowder quantity), height of user, whether the blast is anticipated, whether the butt stock is tucked in tight or not... I would start with saying that a 98 lb woman (no offense, but I'm considering upper body strength) who knows what she's doing would still be standing. Anyone larger, not doing anything stupid (i.e. holding the butt of the weapon in the middle of the chest, against the forehead, etc.) would have no problem.

I don't know how that could be answered without knowing condition. Has it been used for a tomato stake or it's like new.... BIG difference in value.

the gun that is more worth your money is a 12 gauge because you can go deer, turkey, pheasant and duck hunting and trap shooting without having to worry about getting to far because with a 20 guage duck hunting you would pretty much be able to grab the duck by the time it is close enough to shoot

Not enough information to even make a guess. You told us the maker- how about caliber, model, condition?

Cresent Arms was bought by H&D Folson Arms Co. NY. Then in 1930 it merged with Davis Warner Arms Co. and became Cresent-Davis Arms Corporation. Cresent-Davis was then bought out in 1932 by Stevens Arms Co.
