Hi,
I have a SxS 10 guage in bad shape that appears to have few markings.
What have found:
Under lug (hidden when barrels on):
3329 on one side,
a couple of funny stamps, one looks like a diamond, then a pi with a third leg, topped by a star under the other barrel..
on the bottom of the barrels, 10 o inside a diamond, a b l g star inside a circle topped with a crown(?) an ak(Topped with a dot?), the number 19.2, and a few marks that almost look like british currency sign (not quite 3 8s overlapping).
The two barrels measure 31 3/4 " from back of tube to muzzle.
The receiver has some drop to butt. Two triggers in triggerguard, front one is fairly straight, back one is shorter, tightly curved. The pistol grip is semi curved, and slims to a bump rather than staying the same size (so this shotgun is unlike my rem760 where pistol grip comes down and ends ina grip cap the size of the grip. Does this make sense?)
There is some checkering on grip, the two side plates appear to have some engraving, and the two exposed hammers look like an upside down comma swirled up and a bent tooth on top. there is a small teardrop shaped area on top of hammers that is checkered. The hammers each hit a cone shaped pin that actually then protrudes into chamber where primer would be!
There is what I would consider a standard long swivel tang release to release the barrels. the top of the receiver between the barrels has a cone shaped area for a cone shaped tang on barrels to meet at lockup.
The only other defining feature is rust! It was given to someone who gave it to me.
(for those looking for a forearm description, I gave it. There is none.)
Any ideas what I have here? it is in very rough shape. I am NOT going to fire it. I am just curious what IS it?.
I will check back tomorrow while at work, but I obviously won't have the shotgun with me then.
TIA
