I have my father’s Noble 40A 12 gauge pump shotgun. The old man shot a ton of game with it and I got my share. Nice to hear the history and Noble. Still have it and still works like new.
Interesting design… I can see why it wasn’t more popular.. that follower/last round ejector has to be fragile and prone to problems. Thanks for sharing
Lived in MA all my life. Have never come across one of these in any of the New England states. First and only time I saw one was at a pawn shop in Texas when I was visiting relatives.
Montgomery Ward & Co. was a department store chain and mail-order business that operated in the United States from 1872 to 2001. They didn’t manufacture guns, they just branded guns made by other various manufacturers to sell in their stores. If there was a Noble model 33 branded for Wards then it was made by Noble, definitely not after they were gone.
@@MilsurpGarage Thanks for the info. This one is quite accurate and in 90% plus condition. Thought it was very unique and couldn't pass it up for the price.
Good guess.....when it comes to weird plastics, people can be thrown off but in the gun world with things like Bakelite and Zytel we are well schooled in plasticology timelines.
That's the type of 22 I look for at gun shows. Those obscure and forgotten makes/models of 22s are the best and they are relatively cheap too!
You should DEFINITELY take a look through the last 10 years of this channels videos! Just sayin'!

Nice. Noble shotguns were real workhorses.
I've never seen one of those before, Thanks.
Noble was a very small manufacturer, not very high production. Thanks for tuning in.
Very interesting. Tenite stocks have a reputation for being pretty much impossible to successfully repair, so I hope yours stays solid,
It’s mint, but in the case it fails, there are always tons walnut stocks around that bolt right up.
Very nice design for sure. Thank you for showing it to us.🙏🏽🇺🇸😎✌🏻
Gonna keep my eyes open for Nobles.
@ good luck. I will be fun looking .🇺🇸🙏🏽✌🏻👍😎
Thanks man you come up with some cool stuff.
Always looking for cool stuff. Thanks for tuning in.
I like Nobles' stuff. That one is a real peach!

Yeah, it’s one of those designs that works really well until it doesn’t.

Small company. Makes for a perfect collecting area!
I picked up a Western Field M33 which was after Noble went under. Sweet shooting little rifles.

Very Cool 1st Noble I Have Seen I Like It Very Nice Acquisition 😀😊😇
Very cool small company!
I wonder if that is Bakelite? Pretty cool!
Sure Looks like It 😀
Tenite. Used to be used for car interiors. Depending on the mixture it can reek of chemicals over time.
You must have let the dog out during the Tenite part of the video……
I think you should narrow the field of view. You are showing close to 1/2 the gun in one shot. I'm sure no one wants to see the whole gun at once.
@@hazcat640 I really should show the guns with an end to end close up tour. I’ll keep that in mind for the future. Thanks.
That was a very good answer. I enjoyed your video very much! I even learned a little something!!@@MilsurpGarage
I guessed 50s

Very cool old 22. Have you tried Balistol? I've had that white residue looking film on plastic parts disappear with a little spray & letting it sit.
I use ballistol exclusively.
Noble was made up in Hadley, Mass. I drove up to visit the old factory a few years ago. I believe it closed about 1970.
Sure you weren’t on the other side of the river in Haydenville?
