Shotguns

Some are 12 gauge, some are 16 gauge. The MX16 is a 12 gauge frame; same frame size for both gauges.

I have a shotgun choke bored dec.11,1900 with mound city arms that is all that is one it where can i find out about it

yes

This question would be easier to answer correctly if you specified the maker and model no. of your shotgun, or at least the action type (e.g., single barrel break-open, pump, semi-automatic,, double side-by-side, over-under, etc), but I'll attempt to give a generic answer:

It depends on what method was originally used to attach the stock to the receiver; i.e., does it use a single bolt through the length of the buttstock? If so, you will have to first remove the buttplate or recoil pad to gain access to the bolt head. You will also need a small flashlight so you can look into the deeply recessed hole to determine what type of head is on the bolt. Most shotguns use a simple rounded head with a slot so you can use a BIG screwdriver to tighten it. I have also seen a few stockbolts with 6-point (hex) heads and even one with an Allen (socket) head, although I suspect at least a few of these were replacements. Whatever type of head it uses, just be sure to use a properly fitting tool to tighten or remove the bolt.

If there is no stock bolt hole in the butt, then the attachment will be strictly at the front of the stock with usually 2 or 3 screws through the tangs and/or other parts of the receiver. It is very important to NOT overtighten the screws that fasten from one tang through the wrist of the stock to the opposite tang. If the wood is tightened too closely to the metal, just the normal recoil from firing the gun could crack or split the wrist of the stock.

You may just want to take your gun to a competent gunsmith, especially if it is a high-grade gun or a family heirloom.

18" for shotguns

Kettner is an old Cologne company with a shop in Klein Glochen Strasse selling all types of sports gear including firearms and shotguns.

They don't manufacture guns but pre-war many of the weapons they sold

were manufactured in Suhl which was post-war in East Germany.

If you are trying to search for historical information of dates of munufacture

then unfortunately most of their records were destroyed the result of bombing raids in the last world war. Until recent years the original shop was situated in the main shopping street of Colgne (Koln). The High street.

They made them from 1948 to 1968, they are date code stamped on the barrel. Check the Remington Society of America for diagram/code table.

Does anyone know? The marking on this shotgun only says, "Excelsior 77 Super". It is a beautiful shotgun, double barrell 20 guage with true wood stock and some engraving. Just trying to find out who made it and about how old it may be.

It depends on local legislation.

185 d Model 20 ga Mossberg Whats the Value

Up to 10 years federal prison time and a large fine.

"Osbourne"? Between 1838 and 1928. If it says "...of London" then the range is probably 1838 to 1871.

one is a 410, the other a 20

That was something I already knew.......The caliber is different, they require different bullets, however, what about the kick. Is there much recoil difference between the two. I thought this was a place for serious answers and discussions not wise cracks from people who don't know their weapons. Some of us ask to learn not to be treated as if we are stupid.

I purchased a new Harrington & Richardson 12 gauge model 088 from K-Mart in 1980.

50-100 or so

about $150. depends on the condition. expect a maximum of $100 if sold to a store though

your question cant be answered here take it to a gun forum online, just look for them through google, most likely people will give you a strait forward answer, also take the gun to your local gunsmith or gun dealer they may be able to answer this question also

No

60 to 80 percent to make clean, ethical kills , anything less than 50 percent is unethical and may not kill the animal it may just run away and suffer

Yes

About $75, more or less.

about $125 to $190 depending on condition.

Seldom exceed 150 or so

My model 167 TD series K was a gift in the late 1970's (new) and it has a serial number on the receiver. I'm told that the presence of the serial number indicates that it was likely mfg after 1968.
