Shotguns

First, it is not a machine gun, regardless of how it is marked. Second, most likely made around the turn of the century.

2003 is the model not the year. I have one like it, an over and under, and I think that it was made late 70s (maybe even till early 80s). Franchi remained a family business till 1987 and was then sold and changed ownership again afterwards. It is a fine shotgun, unfortunately fixed chokes, but very nicely made with super smooth action.

I bought one for 180$$ in exellent condition.. Only has a couple scratches. But i have seen them for almost 400$. so id say anywhere from 200-350$$ but i am no expert im just a consumer. I would not pay more than 250 for it.

130-275 depending on condition

It is a good design, manufactured with high quality materials and is VERY strong. However, whether or not your particular gun is in safe-to-shoot condition can only be determined by a qualified person, such as a gunsmith.

Yeah this guy is dead on. I have a mossberg 20 gage bolt action, and it is excellent when maintained. However, keep in mind, safe can also mean how you use it! Don't ever point it near someone, and have the safety on when you are not shooting!

First step is head down to your sporting goods supplier and pick up a shotgun cleaning kit which should include a cleaning rod, swabs, solvent and lube, a barrel brush / barrel snake may be a good add on to have around. Also for a pump pick up some teflon oil to lube up the pump. Were I you, I would not even begin without my owners manual or schematic around (you don't want to be wondering what the "extra" part is for). This is a very generalized set of instructions for a pump 1. Slide the pump all the way down then unscrew the cap from the top of the piece that the pump slides on. 2. You should now be able to unscrew your barrel 3.Wet a patch with solvent and run it all the way down the barrel 4. run the brush down the barrel 5. run a dry patch down the barrel 6. lightly wet a patch with gun oil and run it down the barrel 7. drop some teflon oil on the pump rail 8. reassemble For a full break down and cleaning you will need the schematic for your weapon. In general the rule is metal parts need a light application (just one dab of oil on a rag will do) of gun oil to control corrosion.

I can't tell you how old it is, but I can tell you it's a "Savage model 94D" made for Western Auto under the Revelation brand name.

Yes, it is a 410/45LC combo derringer, and runs about $80-$100.

yes 2 3/4 shell will work in a shotgun chambered for 3in as long as they are of the same gauge

The Remington model 870 is the most popular shotgun in history.

It's available in a variety of configurations for clays, hunting, police, and military use.

The gun is noted for its simple design, durability, and smooth operation.

The Benelli Super Black Eagle & Super Black Eagle II series are the second most popular, but they seem to be gaining ground on the 870 each year.

Take a look here:

To the best of my knowledge the model 88 receiver is identical regardless of chambering, so any of the barrels should work.

50 - 80 years old. you've a vintage mate!

yes

Not more than 100-125 USD.

The gun in a Like-New Condition should go for $300-$400 if scoped. If it is a little banged up or has had allot of rounds run throgh it I would say $225 is a great deal.

That depends entirely on the purpose for which you intend to use the rifle.

Modern rimfire rifles are usually chambered for either .22" caliber cartridges (shorts, longs, long-rifles or magnums [WMR]), or for .17" caliber cartridges (.17 Aguila, .17 Mach 2, .17 HMR [V-Max, TNT, or XTP]), or a very few for 5mm. Each has different capabilities, but most rimfires are used for "plinking" (informal target shooting), target competition, or small-game hunting. Most rimfire rifles and most rimfire cartridges are less expensive than most centerfires.

There are many dozens of centerfire rifles and rifle cartridges ranging from .17 Remington to .50 BMG and .700 Nitro Express. Again, each has its own purpose(s), from target shooting to hunting big & dangerous game. One would be as ill-advised to hunt prairie-dogs with a .458 Winchester Magnum as to hunt Cape Buffalo with a .223 Remington.

The correct cartridge for any given rifle is almost invariably stamped on its barrel. If in doubt, consult a gunsmith. DO NOT GUESS OR ASSUME ANYTHING.

As to quality of rifles, there are egregiously poor quality and supremely excellent quality rifles of either rim- or center-fire design. Once you have defined your intended purpose(s), seek competent advice and buy the best quality that you can afford.

If you have a good lawyer and a lot of money and patience, it is possible.
