Ithaca absorbed several older companies and would have acquired their patents, so the 1880 date probably refers to a patent previously held by Syracuse Arms, Lefever Arms, Union Fire Arms, or Wilkes-Barre Gun Company.
They have a double name or double-barrel first name.
First, you will need to know the manufacturer's name, the model or model number, the serial number and condition of the 10 gauge double barrel shotgun before a "worth", can be considered.
To tie a secure double barrel knot, first make a loop with the rope. Then pass the end of the rope through the loop twice. Pull both ends of the rope tight to secure the knot.
Sometime in the first half of the 20th century.
HAVE IT CHECKED OVER BY A GUNSMITH FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!! It is an old shotgun.
From a book: THE SHOT GUN & ITS USES By "East Sussex" (First published in London in 1914.) says on page 2: "About 1800, however, the double-barrel shot gun was taken up, if not introduced, by Joe Manton..."
The choice of which barrel to shoot first depends on the type of firearm and the intended purpose. In double-barrel shotguns, for example, many shooters prefer to fire the top barrel first for quicker follow-up shots. In contrast, some handguns with multiple barrels may not have a specific preference, as it can be based on personal comfort or the type of ammunition loaded. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for optimal performance.
No. The Stoeger 3000 has no barrel selector and always fires bottom barrel first.
To attach a forearm to a Stevens 940E shotgun, first ensure the shotgun is unloaded and safe. Remove the barrel by unscrewing the barrel nut, then slide the forearm onto the magazine tube. Align the forearm with the barrel, reattach the barrel, and tighten the barrel nut securely to hold the forearm in place. Always double-check for proper fit and function after reassembly.
You would first need to provide all of the markings found on the gun.
Usually you fire the right barrel first. It's choke is normally a little open giving a wider spread of shot. You fire the second barrel which is normally a tighter choke at a target farther away. This tighter spread will be concentrated but spread because of the long range assuring more pellets hitting the target. Firing the right barrel at a greater range might have the target escape by having the shot pass by without hitting it because the pellets are spread too far apart.
The weight of the second barrel is 5 pounds (21 pounds / 3 = 7 pounds per barrel, and since the first barrel weighs twice as much, it weighs 14 pounds). The weight of the first barrel is 14 pounds.
