Shotguns

It's a Stevens Model 520A.

1910, give or take a few years.

You won't find anyone who stocks parts since the company only operated from 1903 to 1913. But since most double barrel buttstocks are pretty similar, you could probably find one at a gun shop or gunshow that could be altered to fit. Same goes for trigger guards, and the screws are probably standard. There are several different ways that the forearm could be attached, so if you need that part of the stock, it may take a while to find one that will fit.

If on the barrel it says J. STEVENS ARMS COMPANY MODEL 56 IT WAS MADE BETWEEN 1920 AND 1942. They were an affordable gun during the depression and to this day are highly accurate. Value for this gun in excellant condition could be $200 to poor condition $50. I have one and have used it to teach my girls how to shoot responsibly. It was my grandfathers and someday i will hand it down to my kids like my father did to me. Still as accurate as it was out of the box with the original scope. Hope this helps Rick Cape Cod

Do you have a model number (Sears guns usually have a number like 123.12345)? Condition will also be important, but for a rough idea of the value, go to a Walmart or a sporting goods store and find the least expensive new .410 with the same action type and figure that your used gun is worth 1/2 to 2/3 of that price.

I can't find a cross-reference for that number, but Eastern Arms was a trade name used by Sears Roebuck. Most of the shotguns were made by Stevens/Savage.

This weapon was manufactured by the maker of the MAC10. I have an over-under derringer by FMJ Ducktown, TN. It is a 22cal under and a 410/colt 45 over. Some infomantion is under LEINAD which is Daniel spelled backward. Also COBRAY. JD

I wish I had an answer I an looking for the same thing I have one that I am working on right now I came from my grandmothers barn owned by my great grandfather I have got bits and pieces of info they were made in late 1800 and early 1900 built in Boston mass I woluld love to find out more do you have a pic

$25-50.00

apparently from what i have found this rifle was bought new for like 45 bucks. maybe alittle more. and it was made between 1936 and 1948. it might be worth 100 to 125 dollars. this info is from research i did on the internet from other people askin similar questions and there responses. i think the years it was made might have been from the model 53b. they cant be that far apart from each other. the difference is the 53 a firing pin has to be reset manual. the 53 b resets when the bolt is opened. my 53 a does not have a safety and the 53b does. i dont know if im missing parts or not. i dont think that i am. hope this helps

Sir, I was offered very nice condition Itahca Featherlite with 30" barrel, very little service for $200 Canadian, yesterday 24Apr05. The gun looks like it may be from the mid-60's. Hope this helps. Stewart

Joe Vorisek wrote the book on old shotgun markings, and his listing says: WM LOOMIS - name found on Belgian hammer shotgun with damascus barrels, maker unknown. I'm assuming this is a breech loading gun, so it would have been made sometime after 1865 and before 1915. You might search for any reference to a William Loomis who owned a hardware store or general merchandise store in that time period. Many stores paid a couple dollars extra to get a dozen or so guns marked with their own name.

I am a gun dealer in Asheboro, NC (Franks gun and pawn). Yes, the Baikal choke tubes will fit. This gun is made by Baikal for Remington. It used to be imported under the EAA name. You can also get tubes at Colonial choke tubes.

been hunting with mine for 35 years, best shutgun I have ever used hands down I got a Westpoint model 948 for my 14th birthday...that was 47 years ago. I agree great little shotgun!

You have an interesting piece. The model 12 is considered the finest pump ever made. The 12 ga. is less desirable then say, the .410, but the solid rib is rare. And, anytime you have upgraded wood and checkering (factory?), it adds considerably to the value. Condition is almost everything in a collectable such as yours--I can't quote you a price. But if you were interested in selling-and-getting the most money for your gun, you should look into selling on-line. Gunbroker.com is a great site for listing, and you should be able to get a fair price for your Winchester.

Try Numrich or Bob's Gun Parts. They are both on the web. Or you can try Boyds, they have new for 12 ga only. http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/ I'm looking for 16 ga, but no luck so far.

Try googling it. I believe you will be surprised.

You also need to know the manufacturer and model. Then look in the Blue Book of Gun values to find out if this gun is listed. If not, you may be able to get information directly from the manufacturer if they are still in business.
