Old ammo?

[Ub3rDorK]

ok so on the remington 31 i found out the serial number means the date ... so im assuming its from 1939?

$500 Lefever Nitro, It doesn't look like a higher grade gun.
$300 Remington 31, ^ ditto.
$1000 Browning A5, Nicer A5s are going to have interests and yours look pretty good from this angle.
$200 Savage 22, I don't know if this is an old Anschutz, I am not too familar with them but my guess would be yes

These are just estimates from ME, don't bank your budget on MY estimates ...

well it definetly look as if the remington 31 has been used, but the browning literally has no rust, scratches or anything on it. savage i dont care about but what was amazing is that the scope was still zeroed lol.

*edit and i dont plan on selling any of them...im just curious on pricing

on the lefever, i really want to replace the buttstock pad because its old and crumbly.

There are period correct replacement pads you can put on this old gal !!!

AWESOME! thank you!

Just give tham all a good scrub down and oil them. Be very careful with the wood and oil, at this age the wood can get soggy from the oil !! And then they will be no good ...

The #4 shot in the 16ga are not allowed in most shotgun target range, if you choose to shoot them. Big 5 or BassPro sells the 16ga ammo for like $7-8 per box, and Walmart sells everything else you need.

why arent 16ga allowed at most ranges?

The 16ga are allowed, its the #4 shot size in the ammo thats not allowed.

EDIT: They only allow 7 1/2, 8, 9 shot sizes.

excuse my ignorance but, ive never owned a 16ga....whats the difference? I usually shoot 12ga out of my nova...like sport loads from wallyworld or sometimes buckshots.

[Ub3rDorK]

oh i get it...thanks

gotta love wikipedia

16ga used to be very popular, it is between the 12 and 20ga. A lot of older guns are chamber in 16ga, the old saying is "light as a 20, hits like a 12" The standard 16ga load is a 1oz shot load.

The modern gauge goes as follows: 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 36 ga. The 24ga is not popular at all and the 36ga is a 410 bore that we all know. I think there used to be a 32ga also as well as a 8ga, 6ga, 4ga, but those are dinos.

You can go ahead and ship me all that 257. I'll make good use of it for ya :-)
You are a lucky man. Got a nice little collection all in one shot. Have fun with them.
