Break-action shotgun pic thread.

Great photos, but here is something to consider: Is a shotgun a firearm subject to the NFA? | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

I know my SBS has an approved Form 1 and stamp. IIRC, @Reno mention his did too.

Hmm... haven't taken mine out in a year. I should probably take a look at it.

Yes, you probably have a lot of fungal growth by now.

I take mine out at least as often as Jeffrey Toobin.... and it feels so good out, I leave it out!

Simple, yet effective!
Springfield Stevens 94A

I only own one. It was given to me by a friend when I lived in AZ. He was going to throw it away. Can't remember what it is. Maybe a Montgomery Ward??

Anyway, what to do with a single-shot 12ga when living in Arizona? Chop it down and use it as a snake gun, of course!

I think I have $15 dollars into it, and it has actually killed a Diamondback rattler that snuck up to me while working on my Suburban in the driveway.



And yes, it is legal length in regards to the barrel and overall length.

Just in case you guys haven't bought me a Christmas present yet, that Connecticut Shotgun link above has some suitable ideas. I'd even settle for the K Mart grade for $19,500.

....and whatever you get him, I'll take one too.
Thanks!

...and easy on the eyes, too.

Just a garden variety 12 ga, 3" Citori, but it points like my finger and shoots where I'm looking.

 

[JustSomeGuy]

Ok, I'll be the guy that posts a picture of a cheap shotgun that's not American made and has no storied history...


Cheap Turkish TriStar Upland Hunter. As usually happens, I saw it, saw the ridiculously low price tag and just had to know how crappy a sub $300 O/U shotgun could be. Fit and finish are just so-so, but it shoulders and swings well, goes bang every time I pull the trigger and the shot even goes where it's supposed to...

 

[Ura-Ki]

Pretty shotgun! Thanks for sharing.

Was this shotgun in one of the scenes in the series called JUSTIFIED?

We donated that series to our library but your shotgun looks like one in the series. I told my husband that it was one COOL shotgun and an old lady, like me, had it in her hands in that show. LOL

Apologies for such a late response, I had forgotten this thread and didn't see your comment until today!

I don't recall what shotgun was used in that series, but I do know the full history of this one. The original owner was Jim White ( Who got it as a gift from his father) of White's Electronics Fame (the makers of some of the finest metal detectors around) and was involved in an unfortunate flood in the early 1940's and was almost scrapped along with all the other nice firearms that were damaged. My Grand Parents were hobbyist gun collectors and self taught Gun Smiths who became well known for their restorations and custom stock work. After the war, Grand Dad was sittin with the Whites ( they were friends/neighbors) jack jaw'n about this and that and the subject of the firearms misfortune came up, and they went and had a look at the guns and Grand Dad made Jim an offer to fix up several of them in trade for a Beautiful but damaged Winchester 1895 in .405 Win, and this A.H. Fox! After completing the rifles for Jim, who was very grateful, and very pleased at the level of craftsmanship that Both Grand Mom and Grand Dad had put into those rifles, that he kind of felt he was getting the better end of the bargain, so he also gifted Gramps a well worn original Colt Dragoon. Naturally, Gramps dove head first into the Winchester first, being both a Winchester aficionado, and a big admirer of the Big Medicine .405, as he saw the practicality of said when hunting his favorite Swamp Donkeys ( Roosevelt Elk) so that got their attention first! Finally, after many years in the back of the safe, the Fox came out for it's turn on the work benches, and they went all out on it, and rather then over do it, they chose to honor the original lines and simple elegance these Fox shotguns were known for! I have hunted this side by side over my old dearly departed Golden Retriever for several years since I retired, and have always been impressed with how well she swings and how naturally it follows through on the birds, and I have come to appreciate the very fanatical, yet small loyalty of these fine shotguns, and hope to continue to hunt with it for years to come! And Yes, all three of those firearms are now a part of my collection, the Winchester was the hardest to get, as My Grand Parents knew all us grand children would fight over Grand Dads most favorite hunting rifle, so they sold it, and I spent years tracking it down, finally talking the owner into selling it to me at WAY more then it was worth, but I didn't care, I had to have it, as part of the families legacy, and the rest of the grand kids are happy it's back in the family and they can hunt with it anytime they wish! I know the Grand Parents would be proud knowing their beloved firearms are still in the family, still being used as they were intended, and appreciated for the legacy they have built!

...and you can drive this little honey home for the low, low price of $95,000

Suppose the transfer fee would be on me too?!

 

[ZigZagZeke]

Yea, what's up with that?
Here is Grand Dads old A.H. FOX now in my collection, a beautiful SxS that doesn't get much luvin because of the companies affiliation with Savage, but none the less, an American Classic!

My dad had one identical to that one. One of my brothers got it when dad died. None of his kids are gun people, so it's probably been sold or sits in a closet somewhere.

 

[DeanMk]

Have you considered getting it from them?

 

[Xrperry]

Here's my little Steven's 940 410 ga. The only break open I have

No pictures?
Would be nice to see, this is a picture thread after all

 

[Howard1955]

Ithaca 66 12 gauge. The brake makes it possible for me to use the gun.

This an an unknown make .410 That has been in my family for close to 100 years. This was bought by my grandfather in the mid 1920's. The only markings are the serial numbers and "New York", and above the New York is a partial "AME". The old photo is my Father when he was 16, around 1933. Granddad started a walnut farm about six miles east of Amity, Or. just after the great depression. That's where I was taught to shoot the .410 and a Winchester 62A, ( which I also still have ) when I was eight years old. I'm now 70. Many squirrels and other rodents and birds fell to both those guns. The round count of that .410 must be huge. I shot it regularly up until 1985.
