Hey all, relatively new here. I have the subject shotgun that I picked up from a friend for a whopping $6. He had painted the metal black and had it on the wall. I've been toying with the idea of getting it working again. The biggest things I see is that it is missing the firing pins, cocking rods and cocking bolt. There are a few others as well. I was on the Numrich site and I see they have the major parts listed but they don't distinguish between the gauges. Are they all the same? Assuming they are interchangeable, I then have to decide if I want to spend $100 on a gun that isn't collectible and I'd never recoup my investment. Probably the biggest thing it has going for it is that I like it's lines.

Your thoughts are appreciated.
Kirk

Functioning $106 doubles don't grow on trees...

Personally, I have been taking on projects utilizing cheap guns. That way, when I have a major "learning event", I'm not out anything. I'm saving the nicer stuff for when my skill level might actually be consummate with the materials.

I'd say this is a good chance to "learn". Just getting it to work, even if you never fire it, would be a great experience. And if you screw up, so what? You can still hang it on the wall.

On the other hand, if you are already experienced and familiar with the workings of a SxS, why bother?

Thanks for the replies. This certainly wouldn't be the first time that I did something that others might think didn't make sense.

Wondering if any of you have input on whether the parts I mentioned are interchangeable between a 20 and 12?

First, I know that a few 20ga guns were made. I have had people tell me that they have a 20ga. My response is simple, send me a picture with 2 20ga shells loaded in the gun. To date, I have never received a picture.

My guess is that most of these are 16ga guns
Are the parts interchangeable? Good question. I know at one point they were sourcing receivers from at least 3 companies.

Howdy Pete. I will work on getting you a picture along with other info for your database. I'm 99.999999% sure it's a 20 ga. When I first got it a while back I thought it might be a 28 ga so I put some 20 ga shells in it to verify.

Kirk,

If is is a 20ga, then it is very collectible. Depending on condition the starting bid would be on the order of $1,500 or more. Contact me via email: movie@damascus-barrels.com.

Hey there Pete. Good to know that even at my age I can still be the first at something. I'll contact you by email as well

Thought I'd add a few more pictures of the gun. I had it apart to start working on it so for the pictures I just loosely assembled the major parts.
