Shotguns

You can usually find spare magazines at gun shows, where i got mine, but maybe you can order spares from mossberg directly.... Oh and The hole in the rear of the buut stock is actually a storage compartment for a spare magazine, but on some models it's drilled somewhat smaller, so the magazine has to be inserted into it bottom first, otherwise the bottom of the magazine can become caught on the hinge.

With over 25000 laws on the books regarding firearms, it is always best to check with your local law enforcement for current information.

10-110 usd

Best to try any of the web based sales sites such as guntrader.co.uk, gunstar, &c. and then contact the stores that have a good selection. My earliest Purdey is 9xxx and dates from 1883 (hammer) and it still puts food on the table 130 years later.

The answer is Yes. You can fire any NON-Rifled slugs out of this gun. I have the same model #3178094 and I have fired many kinds of slugs from this gun. You have whats called a smooth bore shotgun which means you can fire any slugs or projectiles made for smooth bore. when you buy your ammo ask the gun shop to show you what I'm talking about. When you look inside the barrel you see it's smooth. The slugs you buy have a plastic case around them so the lead never really comes in contact with the inside of the barrel. Some shotguns have a rifled barrel which has spiral grooves in it the same as a handgun or rifle barrel. A rifled slug rides in the grooves of the barrel just like the bullet of a handgun or rifle. .I hope this helps you understand a little bit more about this gun.

Brescia, Italy. If your thinking of buying one make sure your credit card has a very high limit.

In the mid-80's, a group of Spanish makers formed a conglomerate called DIARM which eventually failed. Gorosabel was one of the small makers and had a pretty good reputation.

there is no listing for a 251c long rifle in the mossberg section of the 30 edition blue book of gun values. the latest one on the market .

Mossberg made parts only.

Because of the different burning rate of the various types of gun powder used in loading shotshells there is very, very little correlation between the two terms. Shot shell manufactures should have dropped the term 90 years ago.

A Frenchman named Henri Double. His last name was pronounced 'Dooblay', so to be accurate you should always refer to double barrel shotguns as dooblay barreled guns.

No published sn data. Most likely made 70-100 yrs ago.

$500 to $2000 depending on condition and when it was made.

Regretfully, it has value only of a utilitarian nature.

$219, Strictly for wall ornamentation.

Yes. Question?

Activation codes can only be found for the 1.0 marvel avengers alliance through purchasing the item. Each item has its own unique activation code.

Check with the Michigan local or state police.They could tell if it was stolen or not.

Many Bushmasters change hands for around a grand or a little more or a little less, depending.

Mine is worth between $500 and $600. I say this because just a few days ago, I saw another 311 in 12ga with a $500 price tag.

If there is one thing I have come to despise, it is the magical connotation that Silencers have been granted by Hollywood.

You can buy a silencer for a shotgun, but not in the USA (Reflex Arms in Finland makes them). You can also make one, but don't expect too much from it, and here is why.

1. It is illegal in the USA unless the appropriate permit is purchased. Without the permit possession of a silencer or suppressor will get you 10 years in Federal prison. If you get the permit you surrender some of your rights to the BATF. They can make entry into your house at any time, and request to see your silencer. If they don't like something they can also cancel your permit on the spot.

2. A silencer will not be the quiet pfft that the movies portray. You are causing the propelling of an object with violent force. The primer is an explosive device, the powder burns, causing pressure. You've basically got a controlled explosion in your hand each time to drop the firing pin. The silencer will reduce the noise signature, but not eliminate it. Also there are two forms of ammo; sonic and subsonic: Sonic rounds break the speed of sound and cannot be silenced because of the sonic boom associated with the round; Subsonic rounds through a shotgun silencer / suppressor only lower the 'noise' by around 6db.

3. Make your own. Of course you'll need some machine shop tools and lathe experience, or you can try one of those duct tape and soda bottle types (Please make sure your life insurance is up to date, if you do).

4. Don't do it. A silenced weapon exists for only one reason, to kill without attracting unnecessary attention. It has it's place, and hanging on your wall to impress your friends is not it.

You can also purchase from Red Jacket Fire Arms..

Some of the first answer is outright incorrect, and some of it is misleading.

You do not purchase a permit. You register the item on a form 4 and pay a $200 fee. There is nothing in any of the paperwork you sign that allows the ATF to show up any time they want and demand to see your items, nor can they "cancel your permit on the spot" because it isn't a permit. This is a common myth, but fully untrue.

Also, the comment about killing without attracting unwanted attention is misleading, in my opinion. People can use silencers for hunting and for in-home self defense in order to avoid hearing damage. People also use them because they reduce some felt recoil and muzzle blast, and you can shoot on your own property without disturbing your neighbors.

Yes.

The value of a typical Dickson 12 ga. SXS round action hammerless ejector with 30" barrels with average ornamentation is 800 dollars US. This is, of course, with a stock broken clean through at the wrist and cobbled back together with black electrical tape.

There are seven guns sold every second, so to answer your question one only has to multiply seven by sixty which gives the answer of four hundred and twenty guns sold every minute.

First question: is this a hammer or a hammerless shotgun? If a hammer gun it looks like potential year of manufacture was 1895. If hammerless, around 1901. If the firearm is in decent shape, you have something there. I have a hammerless twelve bore s x s field grade with the serial number 307204, it looks like mine was manufactured in 1906. You may google "lc smith 12 gauge year of manufacture" and find more information. Best of luck.
