Shotguns

Most likely there is a bolt lengthwise through the stock. You will need a long screwdriver to reach it, and may have to remove the recoil pad or buttplate first.

The recoil pad is usually fastened with screws inside the rubber. You will have to feel for the holes, as the rubber closes over the screws.

LONG out of production, the company is no more. You may find a used stock at gunpartscorp, but you would need a match to the correct model- there were dozens.

Your shotgun was made for Belnap by the firm Savage arms Company.These were listed under 2 models,first the Savage model 947B,second the Springfield model 947.Both shotguns are the same identical shotgun as yours.The value will range from 35-110 dollars,depending on overall condition and a good bore.

Answer depends on what type of the 3 SPAS 12 Shotguns it is.

SPAS-12 Fixed Stock Post 1990 Sporting Purpose Average $900-$1300 at Auction.

SPAS-12L and SPAS-12 Made Prior to the 1990 Importation Ban Average $1300 Used to $2500 Unfired at Auction.

The Shotgun Manufacturer Franchi had it's final retail price of this shotgun for sales Outside of the U.S.A in 2000 at $1500.00 Per Shotgun. Production ended in the year 2000 and only 5% of the Production made it into the U.S. before the Importation Ban.

I can say that these shotguns were made in Eibar Spain.They were also imported into England and finished there by gunsmiths also.they were imported and distributed by SAE(Spanish America Enterprises)Inc located in Miami,Florida.

It will depend on model number, year of manufacture and condition. Parker is one of the better brands, so it would be worth checking with more than one seller or collector to get an idea of its worth. Always ask at least two sources, to be sure you get a fair estimate.

Keep in mind there were also inexpensive copies of Parker with similar markings such as "T. Parker" and "D. Parker", that are worth very little.

No sn data in the public domain. You will need to contact Franchi.

When hunting, most states will require that a shotgun not be able to hold more than 3 shells- the plug blocks the magazine to limit how many shells. When not hunting, the plug is not required. It IS required when hunting any migratory bird- such as ducks, geese or dove.

Degree of choke

Anywhere from $10 to $1000. The value of ANY gun is based on exact make, model, variety and condition- and we don't know those things.

18 inches, just like it is for the whole of the United States.

Other than a matter of pure luck in finding another one to act as an "organ donor"- No. A skilled gunsmith may be able to MAKE a small part you need.

No. You can only fire .410 shotgun shells in it. You should never attempt to fire a different ammunition than is stamped on the barrel, even if it appears to fit. If the pressure is too high, or the cartridge doesn't fit, at the best your gun will not shoot properly. At the worst it can explode and kill you.

Sorry, no real public data on those. Prior to 1968 shotguns sold by sear did not have a serial number ( the 583.2087 is a model number)The model number 583.2085 was a High Standard shotgun in 20ga.that was made for Sears.Maybe yours is a High standard also.The model number is awful close.

Impossible to answer with only the serial number and no other details.

It's not a 1905 that's just a patent date, they actually didn't make them that early could find year by serial.

BUT - just like a car is it in the showroom or the junkyard, value is determined by condition, condition, condition, and condition.

The letters AY which proceed your serial number indicate that your shotgun was made in the year 1982 by Harrington and Richardson.The disassemble of your shogun,I am not sure about.You may find a manual on E-bay,gunbroker.com,or at gunshows etc.Good luck in your search.

Probably at Savage customer service website (Savage bought Stevens in 1920)

From a licensed dealer, yes.

"Eastman" Arms seems to be a misreading of Eastern Arms Co, from worn markings.

Eastern Arms was a house brand for either Sears or a major hardware store. It's hard to be positive a hundred years later, and both stories are likely. They were manufactured by either J. Stevens Arms, Iver Johnson, Meriden Firearms, or Harrington & Richardson (H&R) under license (the contract went to the lowest bidder each year), and branded "Eastern."

They are worth very little to collectors, only worth a little for their functionality. They sell used online and at stores for about $100 (in 2012). They have not been in production for decades.

No. A choke tube slips into and screws to the muzzle end of the barrel. It can only decrease the inside diameter.

Royal Gun Works was a trade name on shotguns made by Anciens Etablissments Pieper in Belgium from 1905 to 1957.
