Shotguns

1948-1985 Was given mine as a first gun as a Christmas present in the later 1970's for small game hunting.

200 or so.

Yes. I have one. Double barrel, hammer gun. Damascus steel barrels. Circa 1895 I think.

Never heard of them. Hopkins and Allen, however, was in operation form 1868-1917

It was made by Crescent Fire Arms Company @ 1900. Spencer was a trade name used by Hibbard and Spencer Bartlett on shotguns made for them by Crescent. Seldom exceed 100 USD

The serial number will only tell you when the gun was manafactured. To get the grade you need to look for numbers or initals on the water table of the frame. If you have initals that will tell you the grade, if it is a number you will need to get the book called "Parker Gun Identification & Serialization" published in 2002 this will let you crossreference the numbers into the grade of the gun. By the way your gun was manufactured in late 1880, and if it has not been altered and is an original you may have a gun that is worth SEVERAL thousand dolars. Have it appraised by a professional there a lot of replicas out there.

I had a leinad cobray 5 inch dual-barreled pistol bought in 1998 for $59.95. It was manufactured in Ducktown, Tenn. It is elegant in concept, but poorly executed; worth about what I paid. The piece is cast from soft steel. Operation is awkward. It is top-break, with the .22 bbl atop the .410 bbl. The back plate is of minimal thickness, and does not appear robust enough for sustained firing. This weepon MUST have the thru-frame "button" carefully engaged at ALL times until cocking for firing, as the DANGER of unintended discharge is extremely high: the firing-pin will rest upon the cartrige primer. A bump or drop can easily fire the weepon. The safety does not automatically engage, and must be manually set each time the weepon is loaded, by pulling the hammer back slightly & sliding the safety button from right to left. This locks-up the hammer. It usually requires the non-firing hand to disengage the safety button at the time of firing. It is stiff and awkwardly situated on the frame.
For firing, the user must select the position of the firing-pin on the hammer. When cocked, the tang on the firing-pin is rotated down for the .410 bbl, or toggled up for the .22 bbl. Firing with a .45 Colt in the .410 bbl is punishing due to the small grip. .410 is somewhat milder, and it patterns tightly with 2 1/2 inch #9 birdshot, and is sure death to a Rattler at ten ft. The .22 bbl fires precisely to point of aim at thirty feet. The weepon's niche of applicability is very narrow; like to have sealed with ammo in a #10 can with survival gear to kick around in the back of a Bush-Plane for potting survival grub and signaling.

Contact the manufacturer and get a owner's manual. What works on one brand may not work on another.

Montgomery Wards did not make guns, they were made by various companies like Mossberg, Savage, Stevens and Hi Standard. Who made guns /shotguns for JC Penney, Sears, and Western Auto along with guns for Wards. The brand name were put on the guns for the stores to sell.

It all depends on the shooter and what he/she is comfortable with and shoots best.

In business from 1903-1913. Value seldom exceeds 100 USD

When speaking of ammunition it is imperative to be precise with your numbers. The .308 Winchester is interchangable with the 7.62 NATO military round

If you are talking about the 7.62x51 and the .308 Winchester then yes they can safely be interchanged

A full choke,I believe, would be best for targets. I have been a past president of Oak Hill Conservation Club and we have spot shoots to raise money for our club. I can tell you that over 90% of our patrons choose to use a full choke claiming it tends to keep the group tight to get more shot into the target.

By maker information.

Depending on who made it, condition, etc.. 50-multiple thousands
