Shotguns

There is not a lot of information available on these shotguns. They were made in the early 1900's and in excellent condition can sell for $5000 or more.

I paid 425 with the camo , the slugbarrel and chokes

for the exploreation and settlement of Kentucky

Between 6 and 7 hundred dollars.

it all depends on the shape and condition of the rifle if its mint condition you could get up to $20,000! If its in poor condition then it could go for $100

Janssen Sons & Co. was a Belgian (Liege) gunmaker from the early 1890s through approximately approximately 1931. The Damascus shotguns were imported early on, but importation stopped due to WW-I in 1914.

Because of the low grade steels in the guns, their value is very low - $100-300, depending on condition. Firing them is contraindicated, unless the shells are the original short (2 1/2- 2 5/8 inch) shells with black powder loads, and the barrels have been inspected by a gunsmith.

Basically, they're mantlepiece display weapons.

Your shotgun was made from 1960 to 1965. It did not come with 18" barrels so someone has cut it down. Its value is about $150.

The word "Best" is extremely subjective. The answer depends on the intended use for the weapon. Even within the following general classes of firearms there are specialized subtypes suited for a particular task and useless for another.

Pistol (Sidearm): Emergency use and close-quarters suppression. Best used while concealed or against lesser-armed targets as intimidation.

Bolt-action rifle: Medium range sharpshooter. Add a scope for long range sniping. Best used from concealed positions due to slow repeat rate.

Sub-machine gun: Short-medium range anti-personnel weapon. Easier to conceal and carry than rifles. "Rock & Roll mode" allows these weapons to be effective from moving positions or against moving targets. Also effective against lightly armored or unarmored vehicles.

S.M.G Pistol: Short range interdiction weapon. The lack of any kind of stabilizing butt, or stock on these weapons makes it almost impossible to hit anything. Fire-rates in excess of 30 rounds per second mean constant reloading or a light trigger-finger is needed!

Single-shot sniping rifle: Long range / very long range anti-personnel weapon. Best used from concealed positions.

Shotgun: Close quarters stopping weapon. Also effective against vehicles when solid munitions are used.

Automatic rifle: Short-medium range anti-personnel weapon. Can be fired effectively whilst running and / or against moving targets including vehicles and aircraft.

Light machine gun: Short-medium range weapon in rifle caliber with high rate of fire and large ammo capacity. Devastating against close formations of personnel, very effective against vehicles and aircraft.

Heavy machine gun: Vehicle-mounted large caliber (.50, 14.5mm, etc.), typically belt-fed crew-served weapon. Effective against personnel behind cover and lightly armored vehicles and aircraft.

Automatic cannon: Single barreled heavy gauge suppression / interdiction weapon. Effective against aircraft when entrenched. Standard equipment aboard most modern warplanes.

Rotary canon: Multiple barreled heavy gauge suppression / interdiction weapon. Effective against all "soft" targets (anything that isn't a building) when entrenched or mounted on a vehicle or aircraft. Especially effective against ground vehicles (including tanks), ships, aircraft and powered projectile weapons (missiles). Can be operated by remote, can also be fully automated (usually when equipped on-board ships)

Single-shot unmounted cannon: High velocity, extremely long range anti-tank weapon. Fires a solid slug (often made from bronze). Also effective against hardened buildings.

Thomas C. Johnson made the invention of the automatic in the early 1909. It was one the great inventions of that time and was second best.

can you give the age of a double barrel shotgun made by Seminole?

20s 30s i got a double barrel that needs a stock and forarm.know where i can get one?

I have a Bannerman trap door that was previously owned by an Indian if the decoration on the gun is a true indication of ownership. I am out of the US right now but will return on the 9th. If you would like me to email you pictures of the gun, let me know.

Based in Taunton UK, genally Birmingham guns stamped with G Hinton. Was eventually taken over by Hellis.

Did you mean Svage Arms model 64F? A semi-automatic, .22 LR rifle with a 10 round capacity magazine clip? If so, the price is about $150 in the U.S; and $170 in Canada. That is a great rifle, well worth the money; I had one for about two years and it still works like new. Did you mean Svage Arms model 64F?

Browning's web site has a sn search function.

Depends on the condition, who actually made it. I have seen them sell for $150.00 to $300.00. The thing that hurts and helps it is the gauge if it is in mint condition a collector might pick it up and give 300.00 or more for it. If it is scratched and has some of the blue worn off, shells are hard to find and is not the most desirable shotgun out there thus on the lower end. Montgomery Ward sold several brands of shotguns before the depression most were stevens, savage, mossburg and some other unknown brands. Most of these were low end guns marked as western field or montgomery ward label.

Enders Royal Service shotguns were made by Cresent Fire Arms Co. for Shapleigh Hwr. Co. of St. Louis. Cresent Fire Arms was in business , I believe, fron the 1890's until the mid 1930's. All the records for this Co. have long since been either lost or destroyed. No idea what the K R Winchell stands for.

The choke on a shotgun "chokes" the end of the barrel, compressing your shot. Therefore creating a tighter pattern. Kind of like a nozzle on a hose. If you turn it on without a nozzle it will come out thick and not go very far, put a fine tipped nozzle on and the water will stay together and travel farther. Hope this helps.

In today,s market it will bring between 175-350 dollars,depending on the caliber/gauge combination and overall condition of your Savage.

I saw one for sale for 500 a week ago ,It was the Sam Walton ,gold inlay version.

If it is in like new condition $300. Used and decent $200.
