SMOF7732 - BROWNING HI-POWER 9MM "T-SERIES" WITH SPORT MODEL "BEER CAN" TARGET SIGHTS- BROWNING SOFT CASE- ABOUT MINT! Serial number T198331 made in 1967 with the external extractor, and all the classic features like red back walnut grips, and small safety. This has the Browning adjustable "Beer Can" or Type A adjustable target rear sight and ramp front sight later available on the "Sport Model" described at https://highpowercollectors.proboards.com/thread/170/photographic-glossary-power-discussion- terms and here https://hipowersandhandguns.com/classic_hi_power%20sport%20model.htm Most sources agree that the "sport model" adjustable sight Hi-Powers were not offered until 1971, but a forum post indicates the Browning Historian (several years ago) documented that six were sold in 1969. https://www.1911forum.com/threads/t-serial-browning-high-power-beer-can-sights-original- bag-n-papers.797321/ The Browning date tables clearly show this T198331 was made in 1967, but FN is known to have anomalies with serial numbers showing up much later than expected for various reasons. All I know for sure is that this has FN/Browning "Beer Can" adjustable sights, not some American commercial stuff. This gun came from northern Utah, home of Browning, so maybe it was an early "sample" or retrofitted, or ??? From the lack of finish wear on the face of the slide, it looks almost unfired. Mirror bore. This has an "ACE trigger shoe" installed, very popular with target shooters. The magazine safety is intact, sometimes removed by shooters, another clue that this may be factory not aftermarket sight work.

Finish is about 99.9%. A really handsome and desirable Belgian made T-series Hi-Power with sights which may be a very rare factory feature, or perhaps just a slightly later alteration. Come with one 13 round magazine, so cannot ship to places run by idiots. Comes with the black soft case marked Browning. Made in 1967, this is C&R ELIGIBLE! $1595.00 (View Picture)

**SOLD** SMOF7731 - HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON "SPORTSMAN DOUBLE ACTION" (MODEL 999) 9 SHOT .22 LONG RIFLE REVOLVER MADE IN 1940 WITH VINTAGE HOLSTER Serial number A15438 made in 1940 when they began the A prefix. These are well made and rugged guns, with the basic design in production most of the time between 1933 and 1985 with only a few cosmetic changes. They are a tip up design, with heavy 6" barrel with a rib and adjustable rear sight. The oiled walnut grips are man size target grips, checked on the sides and back. This is a used example, but still with about 95-96% original finish, and just normal wear, mostly just finish wear on the sharp edges and two finger tip size spots of rust or light pitting on the right side of the barrel. Excellent bright and sharp bore, nice single action trigger, and double action is, well, typical double action trigger pull. Good mechanics. This comes with a vintage holster made for this gun, somewhat crude, but very functional with a lot of use, and it did its job protecting the pistol. H&R is gaining popularity and respect as a collecting field, so prices are rising. This would be an excellent representative example of this model, made when 9 shot revolvers were considered kind of "odd," while today more than six shot revolvers are real popular. C&R eligible. $325.00 (View Picture)

**SOLD** SMOF7828 - EXCELLENT COLT MODEL 1903 HAMMERLESS PISTOL. SERIAL NUMBER 479306 CALIBER 32 ACP WITH THE ORIGINAL BOX AND PAPERS. John Browning did not invent the first successful automatic pistol in the world, that honor would go to the Germans or the Austrians. But he did create the form that all successful automatic pistols have followed ever since when he began turning out his designs in 1900. Colt had already produced one of his designs in their 38 caliber Model 1900 ( and its variants), but sales had been slow, and they wanted a pocket pistol to equal the success of his FN Model 1900. The result was the Colt Model 1903 hammerless in 32 caliber. This pistol set the standard for design of automatic pistol thereafter. By time production stopped over half a million had been made. It also became the most common automatic seen in the gangster and detective movies of the 1930 and 1940`s. I saw the Hitchcock thriller "Foreign Correspondent" on TV recently and the Model 1903 was the pistol of choice.

This pistol was made in 1922 and it almost looks like it is new, the finish would rate close to 98 percent with no pitting and just a little wear on the high spots. The wooden are excellent as well with sharp markings and no cracks or chips missing. The bore is bright and shiny with strong riflings and the magazine is excellent, it is an original Colt 2-tone that is correct for the pistol. Firearms that are almost 100 years old are very seldom seen in excellent original condition with the box like this one is. $1750.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7668 - 638 WALTHER PPK/S-1 MADE UNDER LICENSE BY SMITH & WESSON .380 ACP CALIBER STAINLESS STEEL SEMI AUTO PISTOL Serial number 3655BAH. Introduced in 1929, the Walther designed PP and PPK pistols have always been popular for their solid performance, great engineering and suitability for concealed carry by military, police and civilian users. The most famous user is of course, Bond, James Bond.

PP and PPK are basically the same gun, but the PPK used a shorter barrel and slide, and the frame was a bit shorter and lighter. The PPK/S-1 is a hybrid configuration with the short PPK barrel and the long frame of the PP, to mollify the idiotic demands of U.S. import laws. The PP/PPK have been made by several European makers, with variations in .22 Long Rifle, .32 ACP and .380 ACP and several in the U.S., which would be a nice collecting goal to get one of each, and they have also been made in blue steel or stainless. This one was made by Smith & Wesson in their plant in Houlton, Maine, under license from Walther between 2002 and2013. There was a recall on this model in 2009 for a hammer block problem, and this has had that corrected, as indicated by the punch mark in the hammer trough. Walther started a plant in Arkansas and is now making these for the U.S. market there. Excellent plus condition, showing no real signs of use, with two S&W made magazines, one with the finger rest, and one without. No box, just what you see in the photos. $650.00 (View Picture)

The pistol is designed for concealed carry and personal defense, and it is known for its small size, light weight, and reliable performance. These were manufactured from 1978 to 1993.

This pistol is chambered for the .380 ACP cartridge, which is a popular choice for self-defense due to its moderate stopping power and low recoil, it has a single-stack magazine that holds six rounds, and it features a double-action trigger that allows the shooter to fire the gun quickly and easily, the stainless steel slide and frame, make it resistant to corrosion and wear.

Overall, the AMT 380 Backup is a reliable and easy-to-use pistol that is well-suited for concealed carry and personal defense. Its small size and light weight make it easy to carry, while its simple design and reliable performance make it a dependable choice for self-defense situations. $350.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7473 - VINTAGE HEALTHWAYS PLAINSMAN 175 CO2 PISTOL The Healthways Plainsman was designed and first produced in the sixties it`s a good shooter as well as being quite well made, robust and reliable. These types of guns use compressed air or gas to propel a small projectile. They are often used for plinking, and pest control. The 0.177 caliber refers to the diameter of the pellet being used. It is a smaller caliber pellet, which typically results in a higher muzzle velocity and flatter trajectory when compared to larger caliber pellets.

This pistol is in very good condition with only a slight amount of wear. $45.00 (View Picture)

SMF7287 - PISTOL MODEL 1911A1 WITH COLT SLIDE AND AP INTERNATIONAL FRAME SERIAL NUMBER AP1950379 Colt`s Patented Firearm company entered into an arrangement with the firearms designer John M. Browning in the late 1800`s for the design of automatic pistols. Between 1900 and 1910 Browning designed and Colt manufactured the Model 1900, 1901, 1903 Pocket, the 1903 hammerless, and 1905 and the 1908 pistols. Mr. Browning and Colt began to develop an automatic pistol for the U.S. Army, to replace the double action revolvers which were then the Army`s standard side arm. The result was the Colt Model 1911 in 45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol), the most widely recognized and copied pistol in the world. The Model 1911 (and its product improved offspring the 1911A1) equipped the U.S. Army until replaced by the Beretta M9 in the 1980`s. Colt continued the manufacture of this pistol until a few years ago.

This pistol has a Colt slide on a commercially manufactured AP International frame (lower assembly). The barrel is a military High Standard. This should make an excellent shooter at a bargain price. $595.00 (View Picture)

SMOF3571 - GLOCK MODEL 22 CHAMBERED IN 40 S&W SERIAL NUMBER CML339US. Glock pistols feature an excellent combination of reliability and accuracy. Their high- tech engineering and construction create a handgun that can stand up to the punishment of even the most unforgiving conditions. The Glock pistol`s Safe Action trigger system offers distinct benefits over conventional trigger systems, with increased smoothness and consistency. Glocks have almost 50% fewer components than conventional handguns of the same caliber. Glock handgun frames are made of a virtually indestructible synthetic that is stronger than steel, yet 86% lighter. Glock pistols can withstand temperatures ranging from -40 F to +158 F and still come out firing. Metal Glock components are finished with a unique surface treatment called Tenifer that makes those parts virtually as hard as a diamond and even more corrosion resistant than stainless steel. Glock handguns are designed with a natural grip angle that complements instinctive shooting. The ergonomic frame design features a bore axis and weight distribution that ensure a controlled shot, even under the most adverse conditions. The polymer frame gives a much softer recoil than that of conventional guns and the barrel has hammer-forged rifling for increased velocity and greater accuracy.

SMOF7812 - WINCHESTER MODEL 70 PRE-1964 CUSTOM RIFLE IN 6.5 X 59MM CALIBER Serial number 240589 made in 1953. This is a custom gun assembled by Poway Gun Works in July 1987, chambered in 6.5 x 59mm caliber (all marked on the barrel as shown in the photos).

This was probably done by Bill Simpson, a retired Navy competitive shooter and gunsmith, who was co-owner of Poway Gun Works (in the San Diego area) with another retired Navy shooter and pistol gunsmith, Ray Peet. Pistolsmith Ken Johnson, another retired Navy shooter/armorer also worked his magic there. Handgunner magazine for Janaury/February 1984 has a nice article on their business at https://americanhandgunner.com/1984issues/HJF84.pdf

We have been unable to find anything at all about a "6.5 x 59mm" cartridge in any reference. The bolt face is about .480 and looking at the chamber it seems to be a pretty typical slightly tapered, necked cartridge. It may even be the excellent 6.5 x 55mm Swedish that somehow was erroneously marked, but the reputation of these gunsmiths makes such an error highly unlikely, but my gut tells me that is possible. It really needs a chamber cast and careful research before attempting to fire this one. The barrel is a medium to heavy weight 24 inches long, measuring about .725" at the muzzle. This has a steel one piece trigger guard and floor plate assembly. The internal magazine box is missing, perhaps intentional for use as a single shot. Follower about 3.05" long is included, but no magazine spring. Back of bolt handle is numbered 251 161.

It has a set trigger with a very wide face, and when pushed forward a blade extends from the center for hair trigger use, but maker is unknown to me, but not some home brew contraption. Redfield scope mount base installed. The walnut stock is very attractive and in excellent condition with just a few minor handling blemishes. I suspect the stock is probably from the 1980s, not from 1953. Red rubber recoil pad still has some flex to it, but is pretty firm. Action is glass bedded with the barrel free floated from the chamber forward.

Figure out what caliber this is, and it may turn out to be a great shooter as is. Otherwise, this is a wonderful starting point for a new custom build needing little more than replacing the barrel with one for your favorite caliber. A very handsome gun for a bargain price for anything with a Pre-1964 Winchester Model 70 action. $1295.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7679 - REMINGTON 700 ACTION The Remington 700 is considered by many to be the most accurate out of the box rifle ever made and the standard by which all other bolt actions are measured by. The Remington 700 action has been the basis for U.S. Marine Corps M40 series sniper rifles for nearly 50 years. This legendary rifle begins with the action and a rock solid receiver. The Remington Model 700 short action receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts and fits all of the standard short action calibers. Bolts come with either .223 or .308 bolt face which fit a wide range of cartridges, so select the action with the bolt to fit your preferred caliber. Most reputable gunsmiths are familiar with the Remington 700 and can help you select from the ton of aftermarket parts and other accessories to build up your custom rifle. All use the 1-1/16"x16 TPI barrel thread, and a recoil lug plate screwed between the barrel and receiver face. These are from the estate of an avid bench rest shooter. Some of the following include the lug, and trigger guard/magazine box, and trigger guard screws and some do not. What you see is what you get.

Serial number G6640753 Short action, .223 bolt face, fluted bolt, Parkerized with trigger and trigger guard complete. Used excellent. $450.00 (View Picture)

The walnut stock is also very nice with some normal wear and small scratches, the characters "& P J" are carved on the right hand side of the buttstock (see picture). The bore is bright and shiny with strong lands and grooves. This rifle would make an great present for a collector or a young shooter who is just starting out, it was made with materials, craftsmanship and quality rarely seen in modern .22 caliber bolt action rifles. $250.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7818 - NICE RUGER MINI-THIRTY 7.72 X 39MM SEMI AUTO RIFLE (MODEL 01844 MADE IN 1994) Serial number 189-62696. These are nice rifles, made with Ruger`s usual "rugged and reliable" quality. This is the "Ranch Model" with the walnut finished hardwood stock, and matte finish stainless steel parts except for the magazine. The magazine is Ruger factory 5 round flush type, but after market mags are readily available, but be careful, some have reputations being poor quality. This has the black polymer handguard, which has a 2.5 inch chip out of it, but replacements (factor or Choate or others) are readily available. This has the factory serrated ramp front sight pinned to the barrel. The rear sight was removed and previous owner used it with a scope which he no longer had. These are made with scope based integral with the receiver, so all you need is a set of suitable scope rings, which are readily available.

Overall condition is excellent with virtually no wear on the stock finish or buttplate. 18.5 inch barrel has excellent bore.

Note that there were some subtle variations over the years in the Mini-Thirty, so keep the serial number prefix and model number in mind if ordering parts. $750.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7816 - RUGER 10-22 .22 LONG RIFLE SEMI-AUTO RIFLE - Serial number 121-68417 made in 1981.

The factory magazine was a 10 round rotary type, a huge innovation at the time, and source of the name 10-22.

This was made in 1981, and is the classic sporter model with walnut finished hardwood stock and blued finish. Previous owner added a buttplate extending recoil pad which is nice if you have long arms. This comes with a Ram-Line 30 round magazine instead of the factor 10 round. It also comes with a Burris 3 x 9 x 40mm scope. Muzzle of the barrel has been threaded [INSERT THREAD SIZE HERE] and front sight removed. Excellent bore, but like most .22 rifles it needs a good cleaning. $275.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7800 - HANSOME BELGIAN BROWNING BAR CALIBER 270 WIN GRADE II SERIAL NUMBER 94112M69 BELGAIN MADE In 1967 Browning introduced the Browning Automatic Rifle, commonly referred to as the BAR. Initially offered in .243 Win, .270 Win, .308 Win, and .30-06, the BAR was intended to be a direct competitor to the semi-automatic rifles offered by Winchester and Remington. In 1969 7MM Rem Mag, 300 Win Mag, and 338 Win Mag were also offered in a magnum version.

Browning also offered different grades in the BAR. As the grades increased so did the quality of the wood selected for the stocks. Grade I was considered the standard rifle and featured no engraving. Grade II featured a scroll type engraving with an elk and a buck engraved on the receiver. Grade III featured a more complicated checkering pattern on the stocks, and an elaborate scrollwork scene featuring a bugling elk was included on the receiver. Grade IV deleted the presence of iron sights to make the rifle more svelte, the stocks received hand engraved oak leave patterns in addition to a finer line per inch pattern, and the receiver was engraved with an outdoor scene. The Grade V had all of the features of the previous grade, but also received gold in lay on various parts of the rifle, including the engraving.

In 1977 Browning moved assembly of the BAR to a facility in Portugal. Most collectors consider the Belgian produced BAR rifles to be the finest quality and the most desirable.

This rifle is a Grade II BAR produced in Belgium in 1969. Overall condition is excellent, with original bluing rating at about 95%+. The stock is in above average condition, with one small area on the fore stock near the receiver showing bruising. Bore is mirror bright and would rate near mint.

SMOF7599 - REMINGTON MODEL 12C SERIAL NUMBER 437197 CALIBER .22 S/L/LR In 1907 Remington partnered with famous gun designer J. D. Pederson to set about designing a slide action gallery style rifle to compete with the Winchester Model 1890 and Model 1906. Remington sought to produce a rifle that appeared more elegant than the Winchester rifles by concealing the hammer inside of the body of the receiver. This had the added benefit of reducing the amount of dirt or other contaminants that could enter the receiver. After some modifications completed by in house Remington employees Crawford C. Loomis and G. H. Garrison, Remington introduced the Model 12 for sale in 1909 at the handsome price of $9.50 for a standard rifle. Production of the Model 12 ceased in 1936 after sales of approximately 800,000 units.

This is the Model 12C with the 24 inch octagon barrel (the regular model 12A had a 22 inch round or octagon barrel). This is a handsome rifle it is in excellent condition with the metal parts retaining 90- 95% of the original bluing. The rifle has no date code on the barrel, indicating it was manufactured prior to the implementation of the barrel code system in the 1920`s. The bore is bright and in good condition. Overall this is a fine example of an early .22 caliber rifle. Remington Model 12`s that don`t look they were lost in Bubba`s barn are getting harder and harder to find. This rifle is sure to please the Remington fancier or the .22 caliber fanatic. $750.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7530 - PROJECT GUN! WINCHESTER MODEL 75 SPORTER (1940) RESTORATION PROJECT (MISSING BOLT) Serial number 11096 made in 1940. Easily identified by the figured wood in the walnut stock, checkered wrist and forend, and "SPORTING" marking on the trigger guard. When new, these were beautiful guns, as well as extremely accurate, based on the Model 75 target rifle.

Having successful sales of their top of the line Model 52 .22 target rifles in a "sporting rifle" configuration, they introduced a Model 75 sporter in 1939. This was designed for handier field use. It had a shorter (23.5 inch), slimmer barrel, a hand-checkered lighter-weight stock, and one-inch sling swivels. The action and barrel received the identical care lavished on its big brother target rifle. The stock had a specially designed "shotgun" butt and steel buttplate and a pistol grip with a hard rubber cap and a semi-beavertail forearm. The walnut stock was nicely finished. The 5-round magazine was the same as was used in most Winchester .22 bolt action rifles (69, 75 and 52). Sight options were the Winchester number 32 open rear sight on the barrel, or a Lyman number 57-E micrometer receiver sight. The front sight was a metallic bead on a ramp integral with the barrel, and included a sight cover. Weight was an easy-to-carry 5 pounds, 8 ounces.

The "Sporting" Model 75s are pretty hard to find and even more so in the pre-war era. The bore of this rifle is bright and shiny with strong lands and grooves, find a bolt, fix a few stock boo boos, and refinish the wood and metal and you will have a representative example to enjoy at a reasonable price.

SMOF7528 - NICE WINCHESTER MODEL 72 BOLT ACTION TUBULAR MAGAZINE .22 S,L,LR RIFLE CIRCA 1950 (CATALOG G7201R) (serial number- none- made prior to 1968 law requiring serial numbers). Designed as a combination hunting or target rifle, this was Winchester?s first .22 bolt action with a tubular magazine. These were made starting in 1938 until WW2 ended production for a few years, then resumed again in 1946 and continued until 1959, with a series of small modifications over time. These are highly regarded by shooters today, and with only about 161,412 made, a much smaller number than the its cousins, the Model 67 single shot or Model 69 sporting or Model 75 target rifles with detachable 5 round magazines. Over the years, the stock configuration changed slightly in length, the bolt handle went from straight to swept back, the follower went from split to solid, and some other cosmetic and mechanical changes. Some of these were offered in .22 short only, while most (like this one) could use a handful of .22 short, .22 long or .22 long rifle cartridges in any random sequence in the magazine. The biggest variations in the Model 72 were the different sight options described below. The Model 32B open rear sight is a typical barrel mounted rear sight with a wedge type elevator adjustment. The Model 80A rear sight is mounted on the left rear of the receiver with screw clamping sliding adjustments for windage and elevation. Around 1954 they added grooves to the receiver for scope mounts and in 1956 the bolt and trigger guard were chrome plated. Around the same time the similar Model 72A was introduced. There were 9 different variations of the Model 72 officially cataloged, as follows (from https://www.rimfirecentral.com/threads/model-72-id.894666/)

• G7201R (Sporting rifle with 80A rear peep, .22 S,L LR)
• G7202R (Sporting rifle with 32B open rear sight .22 S,L LR)
  
• G7221R (Gallery rifle with 32B open rear sight .22 Short only)
  
• G7250R (Scoped rifle with 5X and NO sights, .22 S,L LR)
  
• G7251R (Scoped rifle with 5X and 80A rear sight, .22 S,L LR)
  
• G7252R (Scoped rifle with 2 3/4X and 80A rear sight, .22 S,L LR)
  
• G7253R (Scoped rifle with 5X and 32B open rear sight, .22 S,L LR)
  
• G7254R (Scoped rifle with 2 3/4X and 32B open rear sight, .22 S,L LR)
  
• G7260R (Scoped rifle with 2 3/4X and NO sights, .22 S,L LR)

Although some dealers think that any Winchester rifle with a peep sight is a "Target" model, that is not the case on the Model 72, and this is just the basic sporter model with a the Model 80A receiver sight and no barrel mounted sight, as noted above.

Overall excellent condition with good mechanics and bright and sharp bore. About 90% original blue finish remains. Walnut stock is free from any noteworthy ding, just a bit of honest use, and the buttplate shows some gravel marks but is not chipped or broken like most. Screw in sling swivels added during period of use. A really nice, not quite minty, example of a relatively scarce Winchester boy?s rifle circa 1950. $595.00 (View Picture)

HAVERKAMP

Haverkamp Precision is a relatively new entrant into the custom action field, but Tom Haverkamp produces a very high- quality product. The LV40 action, $885.00 before options, is similar to the Remington short style, except it is .200" longer and .060" larger in diameter. The extra length allows a longer barrel tenon, which increases barrel support and rigidity. The Haverkamp Precision action does not use the detachable recoil lug sandwiched between the action and barrel. The tenon thread is 1 1/16" - 18 TPI. The port opening is 2.400" long. Weight of the action with trigger hanger is 34 ounces. The receiver bottom is solid (no magazine cutout) and has a flat, milled section for added bedding support. A detachable aluminum trigger hanger allows for rapid removal of the trigger for adjusting without removing the barreled action from the stock. (Drop out trigger) uses any Remington style trigger: Jewell, Timney, Basics, etc. Standard price includes deep machined helical fluting of the bolt.

The receiver and bolt are made from aircraft quality 4140 chrome moly steel heat treated to Rockwell 41-43C. All openings in the receiver are machined in the hardened material after heat treating to maintain straightness. Receiver thread and faces are square and concentric. The bore is honed and air gauged for a close fit with the bolt (.0015 to .002 ). Price includes polishing both bolt and receiver, There is no bead blasting on this action.

Stocks inletted for Remington short actions will work with a Haverkamp Precision action with some modification. The actions can be glued in or pillar bedded. Pillar bedding kits with aluminum trigger guard will be available in the near future. The bolt release is either of two types: A: Standard Pull pin style made from 4340 alloy steel; optional Push style, stylish (additional cost). To learn more, visit Haverkampactions.com.

SMOF7524 - WINCHESTER MODEL 1903 SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLE SERIAL NUMBER 34730 MANUFACTURED IN 1906 WITH THE ORIGINAL TANG SIGHT The Winchester Model 1903 has a special place in firearms history, it is the first semi-automatic rifle designed and offered for commercial sale in North America.

The Winchester Model 1903 has a sleek and streamlined design, with a walnut stock and blued steel barrel and receiver. It is chambered in .22 Winchester Automatic (also known as .22 Winchester Rimfire), which is a rimfire cartridge specifically designed for this rifle and it will not function properly with regular .22 rimfire ammunition. Winchester chambered the Model 1903 rifle in this unusual caliber because at the time the rifle was introduced, blackpowder and semi-smokeless powder 22 rimfire ammunition was still widely available. Use of blackpowder ammunition in this type of semi-automatic rifle will quickly gum up the action and render it inoperable. The .22 Winchester Automatic cartridge was introduced as a measure to prevent the use of anything but ammunition that made use of smokeless powder in the rifle.

The rifle has a 20-inch barrel, and an overall length of 40 inches. It weighs approximately 5 pounds, which makes it lightweight and easy to handle. The bore could use a good cleaning but looks to be in good condition with strong lands and groves and a shine that can be seen through the dirt. The original finish would rate about 70% to 80% with normal wear for a rifle that is well over 100 years old. The wood is in very good condition, the only exception is a "V" shaped knick on the left hand side of the stock (see pictures). Comes with the rare original tang sight.

Overall, the Winchester Model 1903 is a classic and historic rifle that is revered by collectors and enthusiasts for its elegant design and innovative technology. It played an important role in the evolution of firearms, particularly in the development of semi-automatic rifles. $750.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7490 - HANDSOME REMINGTON MODEL 700 BDL IN .270 CALIBER SERIAL NUMBER 6207461 At the conclusion of the First World War, Remington was left with a substantial stock of M1917 parts. With no hope of further government contracts, Remington turned its eye to the commercial market. The Model 30, which was essentially the Model 1917 modified to fit the tastes of the American sportsman, was first offered in 1921. After the Second World War further changes were made to the Model 30 line, resulting in the Model 721. In the early 1960`s Remington Engineer Mike Walker began designing a rifle which was more accurate than the 721, but also could beat the price with the Winchester Model 70. The result was the introduction the famous Model 700 in 1962.

This rifle has been fitted with a detachable box magazine for easy loading and unloading of cartridges. This provides an additional weight saving benefit, which the hunter who intends to return this rifle to the field will surely appreciate. The stock is in excellent condition but the metal has some (not very noticeable) pitting. Metal finish would rate about 95%, the bore is bright and shiny with strong lands and grooves. $750.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7611 - RUSSIAN MADE SKS 7.62 X 39MM MADE BY TULA IN 1953 WITH FOLDING KNIFE BAYONET- NICE! The SKS (Samozaryadnyj Karabin sistemy Simonova) was designed in 1945 by Sergei Simonov. The SKS utilized the new 7.62x39 cartridge, which was intended to bridge the gap between the full power 7.62x54r used in the Mosin Nagant bolt action rifle and the 7.62x25 used in the PPSh. Limited troop trials of the SKS took place during the Second World War in the early Spring of 1945.

After the conclusion of the Second World War the Soviet Union was financially exhausted. What little funding and political will power was available was diverted into the development of the Kalashnikov rifle. Initial production of the Kalashnikov was slow, leading to the SKS being produced as a stop gap. Manufacture of the SKS began in 1949 at Tula and later in 1953 at Izhevsk. The Soviets gradually phased the SKS out of mainline service as more Kalashnikov rifles became available. The SKS remains in Russian service as a ceremonial arm.

The government of the Soviet Union shared the technical data for production of the SKS rifle with many friendly nations. This has created an interesting collecting niche for historians who enjoy the minutiae of each variant. Shooters who like to keep their surplus rifles in the field may also appreciate the common availability of the 7.62x39 cartridge, which the SKS is chambered in.

This rifle was made at the Tula arsenal in 1953. All numbers are matched. The stock is a well figured artic birch, and was likely replaced during an arsenal refurbishment as indicated by box with a slash mark that is present on both the receiver cover and stock. Finish is excellent and would rate about 95%. No ugly black paint is present on this rifle. As is typical for these rifles, an import mark is present on the barrel near the bayonet lug. Bore is chrome lined and in excellent condition.

The Russian SKS is often considered the pinnacle of the SKS family of rifles. Produced with milled parts and finished with a deep blue, the Russian SKS is a fine rifle that is often underappreciated. $1050.00 (View Picture)

**HOLD** SMOF7507 - PROJECT GUN! SAVAGE STEVENS MODEL 73Y 22 CALIBER The Savage Stevens Model 73Y is a single-shot, bolt-action rifle chambered in .22 LR. It was manufactured by the Savage Arms Company, which later became the Stevens Arms Company. The Model 73Y was a low-cost option for shooters, and it quickly became popular for its accuracy and dependability. It was a youth model, which had a shorter stock and barrel, making it more manageable for young and smaller shooters.

This rifle has a broken trigger guard and maybe other problems as well. Possibly a source for salvageable parts, or a tinkerers delight.

It is important to note that this rifle should be thoroughly inspected by a qualified gunsmith before firing to ensure that it is safe to use and to check if any repairs or replacement parts are needed. All of our project guns are sold AS IS, and all sales are final. Since this includes a receiver, it has to be sold as a firearm and must go to a FFL. If 2 project long guns are purchased at the same time shipping for the second one is free. $65.00 (View Picture)

The rear sight assembly and protective ears have been neatly removed, the receiver has been radiused, and the front and rear rings each have holes drilled and tapped for a sturdy one piece rail scope mount. The 3 x 9 Tasco scope is in very condition. Bluing would rate about 95%. The stock is a military stock nicely modified with the addition of a high comb and pistol grip. Comes with a custom adjustable Timney trigger, nice wide suede backed sling and Decelerator recoil pad. $450.00 (View Picture)

SMOF6475 - CUSTOM SPORTING RIFLE MADE ON AN EDDYSTONE M1917 ACTION WITH SCOPE AND SLING A classic 1950s-early 60s vintage custom sporter, tastefully designed and nicely executed.

The rear sight assembly and protective ears have been neatly removed and the receiver has been radiused, the front and rear rings each have holes drilled and tapped for an old style Weaver scope mount. The Weaver K4 4x Scope is in nice condition with a few minor dents and dings. Scopes and mounts like this were very popular back in the day days. Bluing would rate about 95%. The stock is a nice modified military with straight grain walnut a thick recoil pad. Comes with a nice wide suede backed sling. $395.00 (View Picture)

Modern Shotguns

SMOF7781 - 1224 RARE GERMAN SHORT RECOIL SEMI-AUTO SHOTGUN MADE BY CARLWALTHER COMPANY CIRCA 1921-1932 (12 GA WITH FOUR SHOT MAGAZINE) Serial number 1992 (just ahead of the trigger guard and on left side of the magazine tube.

Patented by Fritz Walther in 1918 in Germany and 1921 in the U.S., these were the Walther Company`s first long arms, but they were actually made by Deutsche Werk or possibly Ortgies. It uses a "toggle" locking system (similar to a Luger pistol) and unique magazine system. It is believed that production was fewer than 5,000 guns, made circa 1921-1932 when Walther declared it "had not been very successful" and dropped it to concentrate on pistols and some traditional double barrel guns. The only apparent variation in these is that some of the later guns has a sheet metal dust cover to protect the otherwise exposed ejection port where dirt could get into the bolt workings. The barrel is specifically marked to indicate use 12 Gauge cartridges with 65mm (2 1/2 inch) length, not the common U.S. 2 3/4 inch ammo. With the proer ammo these function okay, but have a vicious kick, as Ian discovered in the following video. Information is very limited on these with the best summary by Ian McCollum at

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUAQVmuYPZ0

However, with proper ammo, these seem to run pretty reliably as shown in this video from somewhere else.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fvs-R7XvyFc

John M. Browning did invent a workable toggle type shotgun (the prototype is in the Museum in Ogden, Utah), but fearing possible infringement on the Walther patent, it was never developed for sale.

These are interesting historic arms by virtue of being one of the few sporting longarms made by Walther, and one of the few early competitors for the Browning Auto-5 design. Survival rate is pretty low as most were sold in Europe and lost during WW2, and they rarely come up for sale in the U.S. This was one of the more important items in John`s award winning display "Repeating Shotguns 1867-1940" which compared John M. Browning`s five different repeating shotgun designs against the competition.

Overall condition of this example is excellent, all correct, original and unmodified. About 95% blue remains, and the walnut stock shows only light wear or dings from limited field use, with nice varnished finish. The 27.5 inch barrel has a bead on ramp front sight, and a superb mirror bright bore. The cocking handle on the right side of the receiver pivots down to open the bolt and the botton on the bottm of the receiver is the bolt release. The catch on the left side of the receiver is pulled back slightly to drop the rear of the magazine tube for loading. Appears to be in excellent mechanical condition. Only defects noted are a small crack (about 1 inch) extending back from the left side of the receiver, a boogered corner on the top rear of the left side of the forend, and an additional screw added to the buttplate. A magnificent example of a scarce but important bit of firearms technology and history, which most people have never seen or heard about. $2250.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7780 - 1223 SCARCE SWEDISH SJOGREN SEMI- AUTOMATIC 12 GAUGE SHOTGUN MADE BY HAANDVAABENVAERKSTEDERNE KJOBENHAVN Serial number 3829, made in Copenhagen, Denmark circa 1907-1909 for use with standard European 12 Gauge shotshells which are 65mm long (2 1/2 inch) NOT the standard U.S. shotshells made today which are 2 3/4" long. Only about 6,000 were made before production shut down after the John M. Browning designed Auto-5 mady by FN in Belgium captured the European market for such guns.

About the same time that Browning was inventing the Auto-5, Carl Sjogren received Swedish patents for semi-auto shotguns in 1900, 1903 and 1908. Production was limited with only about 6,000 made 1907-1909, possibly a few by AB Svenska Vapen- och Ammunitionsfabriken in Sweden, but almost all made by Handvabenvaerkstederne Kj?benhavn in Denmark. Sjogren got a U.S. patent on the design in 1910, but none were made in the U.S. and very few ever sold here. The few found in the U.S. today are trophies brought home after WW1 or WW2, or a few commercial imports of European sporting arms.

Although the Sjogren was a failure in the market place, its "inertia" concept was later perfected by Benelli and used today.

There is scant information on these anywhere, but bits and pieces can be found at the following sites. An excellent graphics animation of the action is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mios0Ae1WN0

A good history is from Gun Digest:

https://gundigest.com/more/classic-guns/gun-collectors-corner-sjogren-the-first-12-gauge-auto

Ian McCollum has two videos at Forgotten Weapons: https://www.forgottenweapons.com/shooting- the-sjogren-inertial-shotgun/ and https://www.forgottenweapons.com/early-semiauto-rifles/sjogren- rifle-shotgun/

A better demonstration of firing one of these is at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=XznhQ35AxCQ

Overall condition is excellent with about 80-90% original blue finish remaining, thinning and worn some from actual use. Matching serial number on barrel, receiver ring and receiver. The left side of the receiver is marked "AUTOMAT/ SYSTEM SJOGREN / PATENT" and the right side is marked "HAANDVAABENVAERKSTEDERNE KJOBENHAVN". Nitro proofed 28 inch barrel. Some sources talk about a "takedown" version with a slightly different quick opening magazine tube cap, but this lacks that feature, so perhaps those are two model variation which exist (do you have BOTH in your collection?). The light colored European walnut stock is basically excellent, and the hard rubber buttplate is original and undamaged. These came with factory installed sling swivels, although the butt swivel (screw in type- easily replaced) is missing from this gun. Although a commercial failure, they seem to have a strong following among collectors chasing the few extant examples. This really nice, unmolested example was one of the more important items in John`s award winning display "Repeating Shotguns 1867-1940" which compared John M. Browning`s five different repeating shotgun designs against the competition. $2495.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7724 - 1002 RARE STEVENS MODEL 621 MATTED RIB 12 GAUGE SHOTGUN (BROWNING DESIGNED) Serial number 24042 with 30 inch full choke solid rib barrel. Probably made circa 1940. These use Browning`s 4th repeating shotgun design (1- M1887 lever; 2- 1893/1897 pump; 3- 1900 semi auto-five; 4- Stevens 520/620; 5- Remington 17/Ithaca 37)

These were made in tiny numbers, with a solid rib on the barrel, and this model is not even listed in the Blue Book. Stevens made a big deal out of the Browning origins, with "BROWNING DESIGN- 12 GAUGE" on the barrel and left side of the receiver marked "STEVENS BROWNING/ MADE BY/J. STEVENS ARMS CO./CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS, U.S.A." and model 621 on the left side of the receiver. Nicely checkered butt and forend, with about 95% original varnish finish and original hard rubber Stevens buttplate. About 85-90% original blue remains, although typical mediocre Stevens polishing, and somewhat dulling and thinning from use. Not minty, but still a very nice old gun, especially for this very rare model. Excellent mechanics, mirror bright bore. Stevens arms (with or without their Savage cousins) would be an inexpensive and broad collecting specialty, even if just narrowed down to their shotguns, either under their true name, or adding the "house brand" versions. The hard part will be finding guns in nice condition like this, as they were "working man`s guns" and typically well used but not well cared for. This will be one of the scarce models to find. $575.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7725 - 1004 RARE STEVENS MODEL 620A "HIGH GRADE" 12 GAUGE SHOTGUN (BROWNING DESIGNED) Serial number 12179 with 32 inch full choke barrel with mirror bright bore. Made circa 1939-40? These use Browning`s 4th repeating shotgun design (1- M1887 lever; 2- 1893/1897 pump; 3- 1900 semi auto-five; 4- Stevens 520/620; 5- Remington 17/Ithaca 37)

I am using the term "High Grade" as it has etched game scenes on both sides of the receiver, and the stock has a cheek rest and factory rubber recoil pad. I have not been able to pin down the exact date or model designation, but did find 2 or 3 other guns with similar features, and comments that the pad and cheek rest were similar to other Savage or Stevens guns. The 620A used a buttstock held on by a stock bolt running the length of the butt, while the 620 used upper and lower tangs on the receiver to attach the buttstock. Based on the low serial number I am guessing that this dates to the late 1930s or early WW2 years. Left side of barrel marked STEVENS- J. STEVENS ARMS CO./CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS, U.S.A.- MODEL 620-A." The absence of the Savage name on the barrel indicates it is probably no later than 1946. In any case, it is a scarce or rare "high grade" variation of the 620A in nice condition at a reasonable price. About 96% original factory blue remains except for more wear on the magazine tube at the balance point where it is mostly worn off. The checkered butt is excellent, and the rubber butt pad is pretty good for its age. The forend grip is the ringed type instead of being checkered, so it was likely replaced at some point. Excellent mechanics.

Stevens arms (with or without their Savage cousins) would be an inexpensive and broad collecting specialty, even if just narrowed down to their shotguns, either under their true name, or adding the "house brand" versions. The hard part will be finding guns in nice condition like this, as they were "working man`s guns" and typically well used but not well cared for. This model will be one of the very hard to find pieces, especially in this condition. $695.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7328 - VINTAGE L.C. SMITH 12 GAUGE DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN MADE BY HUNTER ARMS CIRCA 1904 Serial number 123720 with 30 inch barrel (full and full, we think about .691 bore on both). Bores are mirror bright. Barrels are "Armor Steel" which is highly regarded as very strong and suitable for modern standard 12 GA 2 3/4" loads, but not super hot magnum or anything longer than 2 3/4" shells. That`s what we found by research, but we sell all guns as collector items only and they must be approved by a competent gunsmith prior to firing. We know of no reason they would not approve this one, but we are not gunsmiths and depend on them to decide safety issues.

This is the "00" grade, stamped on the barrels and receiver, which was their entry level grade with no engraving, plain wood, and no ejectors, only the typical extractors of the era. This has a really great fitting, solid lock up like a bank vault, with high quality fit and finish, especially compared to any of the plentiful junky mass market Crescent or other cheap shotguns sold to less affluent shooters. This has plain walnut stock and forend, with simple checkering that is mostly worn, or possibly lightly sanded off. Buttplate is a hard rubber type with no chips or damage, just some honest wear. Barrels have about 85% original blue with expected field wear. The action has maybe 40% case colors with some silvering and staining, and maybe someone with some cold blue. Good mechanics.

Hunter Arms Company of Fulton, NY was the maker of all the L.C. Smith shotguns in the early days of the company, and this has two 1886 patent dates on the inside of the frame, along with the 00 (field) grade designation which was used until 1913.

A fine old vintage shotgun, from the classic era when double guns were the norm. But, their dominance in the shooting sports was winding down as repeaters invented by John M. Browning were rapidly proving to be better guns and held many more shells for immediate use.

A nice quality double gun in far above average condition for a turn of the century sporting shotgun. $695.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7327 - FRANCHI SEMI-AUTO 12 GAUGE 3-INCH MODEL 48AM WITH 32 INCH VENT RIB BARREL Serial number 147617 with 32 inch vented rib, full choke barrel for serious hunting use. Mechanically, this is a copy of the rugged and reliable Browning Auto-5 design, with slight cosmetic updates which make it more attractive and modern looking. Made in Brescia, Italy in 1970, this is a really handsome gun, with high polish blue finish, handsome walnut stock with really nice checkering and a good recoil pad. Reportedly these are quite happy to use with steel shot.

There is a similar Model 48 AL which is a much lighter weight gun with shorter barrel and aluminum receiver, but this is the heavier gun better suited for the 3" 12 gauge shells needed for waterfowl. The best part is that it has been used just a tiny bit, so you will not feel guilty taking it out and adding an occasional scratch or rust spot on it. There are two small rust spots on the left side of the receiver, one on the right and a couple on the barrel above the end of the forend. You might be able to clean those off, or make them look a lot worse, so we would probably just leave them alone as a reminder to always oil your guns when putting them away, and don`t leave them in a cloth case. A couple of insignificant scratches are on the butt such as eventually appear on all hunting guns. We sell all guns as collector items to be approved by a competent gunsmith prior to firing, but we know of no reason this would not be approved. This was made in 1970, and now qualifies as a `Curio or relic" under the 50 year rule, and can be shipped to a C&R FFL. A really nice gun by a respected maker, at a very affordable price and C&R eligible! $495.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7588 - WW2 U.S. MILITARY REMINGTON MODEL 11 SEMI-AUTO 12 GAUGE SHOTGUN- Serial number 469387, with 30 inch full choke barrel. Sharp ordnance wheel cartouche on left side of the butt stock. "U.S. [ordnance bomb]" on the left side of the receiver, but not "MILITARY FINISH" as found on some. (You really need BOTH variations, don`t you?)

Nearly 60,000 Remington Model 11 shotguns were purchased for military use during WW2. Some were short barreled riot guns for use by guards, but many were 28 or 30 inch guns used to train aircrews and AA gunners in shooting at moving targets. This was made in June 1942, according to the Remington factory serial number notebook.

This has a 30 inch full choke barrel which is not serial numbered, and has the Remington date code on the bottom ESS for October 1947 manufacture. It is likely that the gun was originally a riot gun with 20 inch barrel, numbered to the gun and with a U.S. [ordnance bomb] on the top of the barrel. As the no longer needed riot guns hit the surplus market post WW2 many had choke tube or Cutts compensators or new barrels installed to make the guns more suitable for sporting purposes. Except for the lack of the military marks on the top of the barrel, this is exactly the same as the long barrel training shotguns delivered during WW2.

The semi-auto guns were preferred for gunnery training as they allowed the shooter to concentrate on aiming and firing without messing around working a pump action, and allowed several quick shots, much like the .50 BMG they would use in their aircraft. This is an excellent example of this desirable US Military shotgun with about 90-95% original blue finish. The stock has lot of the original varnish finish, with assorted scrapes and dings of a used training or hunting gun. The buttplate is the correct brown plastic REMINGTON type, and it has never been cut back or had a recoil pad installed. There are three small cracks on the left front of the butt stock where it fits the receiver, but they don`t seem to hurt anything. A good example of a WW2 U.S. military training shotgun very reasonably priced due to the changed barrel. You could return it to riot configuration by adding a US marked riot barrel, if you like. The Model 11, designed by John M. Browning was about the only really reliable and successful semi-auto shotgun from about 1905 to the 1960s, sold under the Remington brand, or made by FN as the Browning Auto-5, or Savage as the Model 720.
