Beautiful little 6 lbs. POW double trigger splinter. 28" Barrels ring true. Used but tight needs TLC. Mounts and points like a wand. I am a novice to SxSs. Please tell me about this shotgun.

Its an "MBC" (made by Crescent). I had one once. It doubled regularly, meaning both barrels went off with one trigger pull. It made the strangest hollow sounding ka-boom when it did that. I'd check the chamber length and shoot low pressure shells (RST or Polywad)in it if I were you..Geo

I had an Enders Special Service 20ga as a teenager. Someone gave it to me as I recall. Might have been another shotgun, but whatever it was an orphan from somewhere.
Needed a lot of work to get it back into shooting shape but it was a good learner project.
I do remember having to (re)caseharden and fit all the lock parts as they were very soft steel.
The extractor was missing too so I made a new one and a rim recess cutter also simply out of need.
Another of Crescent Arms names as pointed out. I had no idea at the time,,wouldn't have cared either.
It was a shotgun that I could work on, it was mine & that's all that mattered.
A rather nice looking SxS,,I used it for more than a few years w/o any problems after the repairs. Used it w/ 60's factory ammo,,the cheap (inexpensive) stuff of the period.
Canuck brand comes to mind at just less than a dollar a box.
I think I was the only one using a SxS and a 20 at that.
A real man of the times used a pump or semi with baby mag 12's.
Oh well,,,

I had a Crescent 12 gauge hammer gun. It appeared to be a full choke gun in both barrels. However further barrel measurement revealed that it simply had a very tight 0.701 cylinder bores in both barrels. I figure they forgot to machine the bores to .729 after they machined the chokes. Anyhow, it was my first hammer gun, it fired terrible patterns and hopefully it's now where it belongs, in the hands of a cowboy action shooter.

H&D Folsom advertising slogan which first appeared about 1918 and was used until 1935: "CRESCENT GUNS ARE GOOD GUNS" or not  Then again Folsom called themselves "The Tiffany of Sporting Goods"
