I have a sears Ted Williams twelve gauge semi-automatic shotgun and it came with a barrel to fire slugs.
Dozens of makers have made 410 shotguns over the last 100 or so years. Winchester, Remington, Ithaca, Purdey, H&H are a few.
a 20 gauge is a type of many shotguns but it is smaller than a 12 gauge but bigger that a 410. a 20 gauge is a good shotgun for all ages.
All of Gambles shotguns were made by Savage arms Company with the exception being the model GU-12-5517A which was made by J.C.Higgins.
USAS 12 G is one.
Mossberg made the Wards model 550cd. In fact, they made all of the 500 series shotguns sold by Wards. lcj
No. Not worthless, but not high $$$ guns either. These were utility grade shotguns, made for hunters, young shooters, etc. But nice reliable, durable guns all the same.
Crescent, Davenport, and Harrington & Richardson all made guns with the Carolina Arms name for Smith-Wadsworth Hardware Co c. 1900. But no one made an OLD one, they were all made as NEW shotguns.
Yfes, the company has reorganized after bankruptcy a few years ago, is now in Ohio. They manufacture a first-class Model37 pump in several configurations, in 20 and 12 gauge. The shotguns are all American-made, with fine machine work and very good quality. Worth a look.
Conventional shotguns run from 10 gauge (very big) to a .410 (smallest). The most common are 12 and 20 gauges, a little less common are the 16 gauge and .410 (.410 = 67 gauge). Some of the less common gauges are 32, 28, 24, and 10 gauge. There are also monster 'punt' guns usually 6 or 8 gauge mounted to a boat. The smaller the gauge number, the bigger the gun.
That all depends on the shotguns overall condition,and bore condition also.
The only Ranger 101.4s I've seen were shotguns, all chambered in .410 gauge.
