If your shotgun has Damascus barrels,then by all means do not fire modern smokeless ammo through your shotgun.I would have your shotgun looked at by a qualified gunsmith before attempting to fire any ammo through a shotgun of this age.

Where can you find hammers for a double barrel shotgun made by Oxford Arms?

Oxford Arms was a tradename used by the Belknap Hardware Company on shotguns they retailed through their mail-order catalog from c.1880-1920. Most were inexpensive utility grade guns made in Belgium and will have Belgian proofmarks underneath the barrels. The barrels themselves will generally be made of twist construction. Hammers and other parts would have to be made. Value is as a decorator piece only, $100-$200. Guns from this era and construction are considered unsafe to shoot with modern ammunition. www.countrygunsmith.net

Can a 410 shotgun use a fouty-five caliber bullet safely?

No, is the short answer. The long answer is a little more complex. The .45 Colt and the .410 share similar base dimensions which make them interchangeable in certain firearms. Usually, however, you find .45 Colt/.410 shotgun combinations, meaning the firearm is designed to shoot .45 Colt, but will also accept .410 shot shells. The Taurus Judge, and Bond Derringer's Snake Slayer are two pistol examples. There are many variations, but the unifying factor is that these guns are designed to handle higher chamber and barrel pressures generated by the .45 Colt cartridge. The barrel of your typical .410 shotgun is very thin in comparison, and is designed to fire shotgun ammunition only. So, if the firearm is specifically designed for it, you can shoot .410 shotgun ammunition through a .45 Colt barrel. You cannot, nor should you attempt, to load a .45 Colt round into a .410 shotgun.


Where can you buy ammunition for a Winchester 10 gauge lever action shotgun?

Any sporting goods store should have at least a few boxes of 10 gauge shells, but probably not a large selection. You have a shotgun that is between 76 and 119 years old in 2006. Before you buy any ammunition, have the gun checked by a competent gunsmith and if he approves it he should also recommend the proper load. Even the oldest of these Winchesters should be OK with smokeless powder, but I doubt if any would stay together through a box of heavy magnum shells.
