Simmons Gun Specialties moved from downtown KC out to Olathe, KS in the late 60s or so. I looked in my 1964 catalog and they were still downtown and did not offer a Quails Fargo, but sold Fox Model Bs and Winchester 21s and 12s.
![]() Next door to the new place was a gun shop (and still is under different ownership) operated by Dave Parker called..The Gun Shop ![]()

One ad for the Quails Fargo by Dakin referred to it as an "import". Maybe Dakin sold some Union Armera guns under the "Quails Fargo" name. I got that information on google.

A couple more Google hits.
This off a GunBroker forum: http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgur...a%3DN%26um%3D1 During the sixties, Simmons Specialties, whose niche in the firearms market is high-quality ventilated ribs and replacement/accessory barrels with their VR's, decided to offer their own branded Shotgun. They contracted with Savage/Stevens to convert a variant of the Stevens Model 311 20 gauge, manufacture the barrel at 24" vs. 26/28/30 inches, use a case colored hammerless boxlock receiver, convert from double triggers to a single trigger, and then Simmons would install their vent rib with high visability "glow-worm" front bead. The barrels are not Belgium, but rather stock 311 grade barrels. They ceased production of this shotgun in 1969. There were not many of these produced, but I have yet to find out just how many.
