16ga........... - Page 2

i sure like the lock-up of the action and they seem to point well........

those savage/stevens 94's i occasionally run across as well. But the winchester 37, well that's like a cadallic of what use to be "poor boy" single shots.

i know well enough to stay away from the winchester "37A" model as i've read they just ain't the same as a "37".

i just never seem to find a sweet deal anymore. it would be fun to take two days in dallas or houston and just make pawn shops, gun shops, and shows to see what a feller can run across....just do two days of hard non-stop gun shopping.....but there are two problems.....

time and money.............and they rarely go hand in hand.

I have a nice 94 in 16 g i paid $65.00 for years back.And my 19 in 30/30 has a 16g barrel as well.I love those old Stevens savage Springfield's 2.

Did a quick look I have in 37 win. 1 410g 2 16g 1 20g and 3 12g.
I thought that looked wrong.2 are red litter both 12g.

They are sweet to handle , fell good in the hand.

Look at this add i found on G/B Tonight..

JOHNNY WACKO · 05-31-2010, 08:02 AM

I thought it was $2300 or $2800,sure was a lot.

BH i have all the 37 i need..Unless i find one super duper cheap.Which happens some times..

Et2ss · 06-09-2010, 02:47 PM

I like the 16 as well. Don't have any single tip ups but these are all 16 ga

And here is a shot of a couple takedown pumps.

I do have a Winnie Model 12 that I got from my Grandad in-law that I haven't even fired yet.

deputy125 · 06-09-2010, 04:38 PM

Et2ss · 06-09-2010, 07:13 PM

John Moses at his finest! They are Browning Patent Savage manufactured 520's that were sold under different names through catalogs. Western Fields & Rangers

Bountyhunter · 06-10-2010, 02:25 AM

Great collection! Who wouldn't love to own them?!

Et2ss · 06-10-2010, 04:18 AM

Beautiful thing is you can find these old 'hump-backs' at shows for around a C-note. The other SXS's were Czech (hammerless) & Russian (hammered) and cost about $ 125 each including shipping!

jimbo1096 · 06-10-2010, 11:40 AM

Well Deputy- I happen to have a Stevens 94 that I bought last year, cleaned it up and cold blued the bbl and receiver. Haven't even shot it yet. You interested?

Bountyhunter · 06-10-2010, 12:34 PM

That's some pretty good prices on them, ET. They are good to shoot right?

Et2ss · 06-10-2010, 08:00 PM

Yep. any suspect ones with loose lock up went right back to the distributor. The 520's are good to go. Obviously checked out befor purchase at shows. The only issue 1 had was the slide rod was bent slightly & wouldn't always carry the bolt forward. A quick bend the other way fixed that right fast. You can always tell positive lock up of the bolt by looking at the top of the receiver.

Bountyhunter · 06-11-2010, 02:37 AM

Good deal then!

My local will sometimes have a really old shotgun in house with a tag that says, wall hanger, or something. They will tell you that it can not be fired safely, but will make a nice decoration. I suppose they will, but I don't feel the need to spend money on a gun that I can not fire.
