Shotguns

You might find parts at a gun show, but, don't hold your breath

Tryon's was a hardware chain, not a gun manufacturer. With a little more information, it could be dated. Does it have steel or damascus barrels? What is the serial number? A picture is worth 1000 words. Probably in the realm of 1915-1920.

12-70 is frequently used to indicate the gauge of the shotgun followed by the length of the chamber in millimeters. In the US, or non-metric measurements, that means a 12 gauge shotgun chambered for 2.75 inch (usually read two and three quarter inch) shells. Sometimes, you'll see 12-76 to designate a 12 gauge shotgun chambered for 3 inch shells.

No, but you could probably adapt one.

Not that I'm aware of. Probably because there are no ammunition manufacturers making 3-1/2 inch long, 20 gauge shotgun ammo.

While there are several techniques used by gun makers, the original method was to start with a smooth bore barrel. A long screw with a single cutting tooth was inserted in the barrel, and pushed down, turning as it went. This would scratch a spiral line on the inside of the barrel. Raise the cutter a notch, repeat. Eventually, the scratch becomes a groove cut into the metal. Rotate the screw, repeat for the next groove. Some barrels had 2 grooves, some 4,5,6, etc.

Without knowing the type of gun (single barrel, over/under, autoloader, etc) it's not possible to give a value. Sears sold the Ted Williams models. They bought the guns from many different makers. Some of the guns were pretty cheaply made, others were well made and command a good price even today (some of the over/under shotguns were basically rebranded Winchester 101s for example).

The best shotgun shell for shooting ducks is a 3 to 3 1/2 inch 12 gauge with number 2 shot.

The cost of a brand new Mossberg 16 gauge 190 K A is $125. A pre-owned unit usually ranges around $55 to $75 depending on its condition.

Depends on the load. 30-300 yards

The value of a 1958 Mossberg model 185K-A is determined by the condition of the shotgun. If in good condition this gun has a value of up to 300 dollars.

An unchoked barrel, also known as a cylinder choke, is a barrel that has no constriction at the end. The bore is a constant size throughout its length.

Your Pietro Beretta gold lark 12 gauge shotgun is valued between 195-400 dollars based on it having between 60%-98% of its original finish remaining and a good bore.

Most makers use steel of one type or another.

A 10 guage is more powerful with more kick and better range, a 12 guage is the standard issue hunting and war shotgun, it is better if you are not an experienced shooter, it also depends upon what you're doing with the gun

You find a gunsmith.

Choking is caused when something goes down your wind pipe rather than your oesophagus, why couldn't a pill go down there too??

Randall made the Rockstack series in the 80s. There were 30w, and 36w amps, I think. I have a remote 10" cabinet from a Rockstack. Would love to find the rest of it.

Depends on condition, make, model. I think you mean 12gauge, not 12 bore. Some have a good resale value if it has exposed hammers, the condition of the bore. General value $100.00

They can run 1$00 for old junk to $100,000 for English high grade engraved case works of art.

It depends on make, model, condition,age, but general value, about $70.00

Sustained, catch up, point

Just picked one up for $2100.

You can find out what year your gun was made by having an expert appraise the gun. You can also find out by finding the model number and contacting the manufacturer.

Chokes for shotguns shrink the bore's diameter to tighten the shot pattern and increase practical range.
