Default Ser # Look up

Was just offered what may be a 16 ga hammer gun with 34" barrels. It has twist barrels, receiver and fore arm , but no butt stock, and has 1 hammer missing.Early gun ser #46296, any book info on this gun?
Don't have any pics of gun yet, but he will have his kids text me pics.
I would think 34" on a 16 hammer would be quite uncommon. Thanks

the hammer will be harder to find than a stock

BUT HECK - its a 34" 16

it would be worth buying a wreck just to get the hammers

They are out there. But very rare obviously. Recently Puglisi had both a 34” and 36” 16g hammers guns for sale. Maybe still does, I dont know.

If the barreled action can be gotten for a decent price, it would certainly justify trying to save it and put it back together. If the barrels are good.

My thoughts exactly Brian. I am supposedly getting some pictures sent, but doubt I can tell the condition of the bores. I may just roll the dice and pick it up. I already own that same gun with 26" barrels--may even be able to fit them up. On second thought, mine is an O frame with lightening cuts, and would assume this to be an 1 frame, so probably not.

Brett Hoops sent me a picture from the book showing a little run of "long" barreled guns, all 16 ga. 9 x34" and 4 x 36" guns all O grade twist

One of the ones Puglisi had was a grade 2 Damascus. Not sure which length that one was. I think it was 34".

Pugs had two Grade 2 guns at Ernies, both were 16's. One a 36" and the other a 38".

When you get the pics you should show us a pic of the hammer it has and maybe one of us can come up with a matching hammer for the other side.
