Despite being one shot, they are fun to shoot! Update me on the year! It’s interesting to know what’s still in circulation and providing good service 🧐
I just bought the same gun from a local road side dealer here in Kentucky. I payed $175 for mine. It’s in great condition. I was impressed with its accuracy. Whoever own this gun before me took really good care of it.
Something to be added to the decoder chart...on the guns with "all-letter" serial numbers, the decoder for the letters are the name of the town those guns were built in...Fitchburg. Each letter in the word corresponds with a number (consecutively, starting with 1), in the order it appears in the word. Thus, F=1, I=2, T=3, and so on. AFAIK, this only applies to "All-Letter" serials on those guns.,
Yes. Use the top lever to open and close as well. And, keep ur index finger off the trigger (rest it e.g., on front of the trggr guard) while cocking the hammer. It got popular during the Depression yrs, 1929 - 1933 and helped poor folks out in the rural areas to bring food to the table for hungry families. Simplicity, simplicity, n simplicity. U've got only once shot to bring datto rabbitto for dinner tonight.
I have one in 12 gauge. Love that old gun. Don't know what it is about it, but I love to shoot it.
First gun was a Champion 20 GA. Won many turkey shoots against 12ga . Taper choke bore was amazing!
Got one just like yours, shoots great!! Have to check on the year of mine

I think you scored. It's a fun Shot Gun.
Just picked up one of these a few days ago. Haven't shot it yet, looking forward to it. It's in good shape, got it for 100 out the door.
Sounds like a good deal.
What year?
@@pickandswap It's an all numeric SN, so its somewhere between 40 and 56.
