SMOF7778 - MARLIN MODEL 336SC SERIAL NUMBER 25091344 CALIBER 35 REMINGTON The Marlin Firearms Company was established by John Marlin in 1870. Initially producing pistols and single shot long guns, Marlin expanded his offerings to repeating rifles in 1881. In 1893 Marlin introduced a design that, after an update in 1936 and 1948, would be recognized as the Model 336.

The Model 336 is unusual for a lever gun in that its design allows for the ability to easily mount a scope. Many outdoorsmen consider this to give the edge to the Marlin over the popular Winchester 1894 design. Marlin also offered a much larger variety of chamberings for the 336 than Winchester did for the 1894, making the Marlin more versatile.

In 2007 Marlin was acquired by Remington Arms Company. During what collectors refer to as the "Remlin" years, a marked decrease in the quality of Marlin products was observed. Following the bankruptcy of Remington Arms Company, Marlin was acquired by Sturm Ruger. Initial reports on Ruger made rifles are positive, but prices have jumped significantly. As a result of this turmoil, original North Haven JM stamped rifles have become more desirable to collectors.

This rifle was produced in 1975. The barrel is JM stamped. The finish is in excellent condition, and would rate above 95%. The stock has three notches in the pistol grip area, likely to commemorate the poor woodland creatures that were felled by this gun. The stock is in otherwise excellent condition, and does not have any unsightly additions from previous owners. Bore is in excellent shape. $750.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7857 - - 1420 HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON "SPORTSMAN SINGLE ACTION" (MODEL 999) 9 SHOT .22 LONG RIFLE REVOLVER MADE IN 1956 WITH ORIGINAL BOX- MINTY! Serial number S18590 made in 1956 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 gently used example, with about 98-99% original finish, and just a few tiny spots and ahint of thinning on the sharp edges at the muzzle. Excellent bright and sharp bore, nice single action trigger. (This is the "Single Action" model, as marked on the barrel. There is also a "double action" model.)

This comes with the original box, numbered to the gun, in good to very good condition with normal wear and tear inside and out, mainly scuffing on the edges. Original boxes really boost collector demand and values and this is not perfect, but hard to find in any condition.

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 still considered kind of "odd," while today more than six shot revolvers are real popular. C&R eligible. It will be tough to find a nicer 1950s vintage example WITH BOX. $675.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7585 - NEW IN BOX COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY THIRD GENERATION, .44 SPECIAL 7 1/2 INCH, BLUE & COLOR CASE HARDENED Serial Number SA07713, made in 1978. Gun is basically new in the box with beautiful original deep blue finish and wonderful case colors. This has the desirable 7.5 inch barrel, and is in .44 Special caliber. The grips are the classic checkered black hard rubber with rampant colt in oval at the top and American Eagle at the bottom of each panel. Comes with papers as shown in the photos.

These are considered to be the "Third Generation" of the Single Action Army introduced in 1873, which remained in production until WW2. Post war, popularity of movie and television westerns (and good sales for Ruger`s single actions) convinced Colt to restart the SAA in a "second generation" using serial numbers with "SA" at the END of the serial number as a suffix.

In 1976, Colt redesigned the Single Action Army, basically minor changes to make manufacture faster and cheaper with modern tooling, current thread pitches and steel specifications, etc, which left the gun visually identical to the earlier guns, but mechanically a bit better. These changes were included at the end of the "SA suffix" serial number series, but they ran out of numbers in 1978 and switched to using "SA" before the number, as a prefix. This gun was made during 1978 when they ended at SA 14808.

This is a really great gun, although the cardboard outer box is a bit scuffed and tired with the label partly peeling and some corner damage. Still pretty nice for a 45 year old box! This has to go to a dealer FFL now, but in five more years it will qualify as C&R under the 50 year rule. $2495.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7898 - RUGER VAQUERO .45 COLT - 4 & 5/8 INCH BARREL, STAINLESS WITH ORIGINAL BOX AND PAPERS Serial number 513-50308 made in 2022. This seems to be new in the box, and comes in the original Ruger hard case with papers. A great imitation of the Colt Single Action but mechanically much improved with better springs, better material and workmanship, and safer transfer bar design for the firing mechanism. From an estate and we don?t think the former owner ever even fired it. Handsome the stainless steel with 4 & 5/8 inch barrel. $725.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7319 - WINCHESTER MODEL 1892 RIFLE- .25-20 CALIBER WITH LOTS OF CHARACTER - Serial number 470172 made in 1908 with round 24 inch barrel and all typical features for that period. This was a favorite of ranchers and hunters, a much stronger and smoother design by John M. Browning which replaced the Model 1873 "gun the won the west." Most have seen hard lives, including this one, but it really has that "been there done that" look, even though mechanically it is in pretty good shape. Most of the screw heads are unbuggered. Mechanically excellent with smooth action. Traces of finish on the receiver, about 40-50% blue on the barrel and magazine tube, mixed with some light surface rust, with heavier rust and some light pitting near the muzzle. This is a great "western wall hanger" as is. The bore is dirty but some shine can be seen, it has pretty strong rifling, it may or may not clean up.

The Model 1892 Winchester is the classic "cowboy" rifle, and John Wayne was seldom seen without one. This is a nice honest old gun, representative of the old west, and a tribute to the enduring legacy of John M. Browning`s firearms genius. $895.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7806 - WINCHESTER MODEL 94 IN 32 WINCHESTER SPECIAL SERIAL NUMBER 1745268, MANUFACTURED IN 1951. The Model 1894 lever action rifle is one of John M. Browning`s enduring legacy to hunters (and law enforcement) throughout the United States. It is the only gun design that we`re aware of that is still in production 108 years after the first one was made. Winchester needed a lever action

rifle capable of handling smokeless powder to compete with Marlin`s Model 1893. Browning turned out the design in two weeks, and nearly six million rifles later it`s still in production. The rifle was chambered in several calibers from 25-35 to 32 special. It could be ordered in rifle or carbine configuration with other fancy features such as takedown, pistol grip buttstock, shotgun buttplate, and fancy walnut.

This rifle is a handsome Pre-64 Winchester Model 94 carbine, the iconic rifle that generations of Americans have reached for when it was time to put meat on the table. Built in a time when men were craftsmen and pride was taken in a job well done. Savvy Winchester buyers will recognize that current production model 94`s are being manufactured in Japan by CNC machines, and can be bought for the princely sum of $1300 for an entry level model. The craftsmanship of the Pre-64 rifle cannot be denied. The pre-64 rifles are a collecting niche that has only grown with time, and these rifles are sure to increase in value

This rifle is chambered in 32 Winchester Special, a capable cartridge that can still be picked up at your local sporting goods store at a reasonable price. The wood is in very good condition with minimal signs of use. Excellent mirror bright bore with strong rifling. Blue would rate conservatively at 90%, with wear observed in the typical handling spots for these rifles. $950.00 (View Picture)

SMOF7736 - RUGER SUPER BLACKHAWK IN .44 MAGNUM, 7.5 INCH BARREL - 7.5 Inch Ruger Super Blackhawk 44 MAG Serial Number 83-88367. The Super Blackhawk was introduced in 1959, it was based on the Ruger Blackhawk but strengthened to handle the more powerful .44 Magnum cartridge with a larger steel (instead of alloy) frame, improved trigger guard and unfluted cylinder. Ruger's Super Blackhawk revolvers are known for their strength, accuracy, durability and reliability. This revolver has the Ruger interlocking safety mechanism, adjustable sights, walnut grips and the 7.5 inch barrel. Revolver is in excellent condition with a bright shiny bore and a few small scrapes or dings. $625.00 (View Picture)

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)

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)

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)
