The other Meriden factory
 

I picked this up on GB recently but have not found any other Meriden Shotguns that look like it. I thought maybe somebody might know something. I have stocks reciever and fore end but sadly no barrels. Any thoughts on finding some that fit maybe from a lower grade gun. Unfortunately it is is an ejector so that probably makes the search more difficult

WOW! that is the highest grade Meriden Fire Arms Co. gun I have ever seen!
Don't ever give up looking for barrels for it.... even if they're not serial numbered to your gun.

I would buy another whole gun and scrap it just for the barrels. It will make an assume gun.

I think It would really look good attached to some Meriden chain damascus barrels. It would make the rest of my collection look boring by comparrison. Ive read that parker folks moonlighted for Meridian.

Ironically, I went to a local gun show today that seldom has any sxs's of note. However, there was a Meridan hammer gun there. Not super high quality but not field grade either. First one I have ever seen. It appeared to be a quality piece. Nice looking damascus and engraving.

I would be looking for another Meriden gun for the barrels.

I think they were asking $575 for the Meridan hammer gun I saw today. I did not look too closely but the bores looked pretty good. I have no interest or stake in this gun. If you want to pursue it contact:

Gary thanks. I am going to try to find an ejector barrel. Since the forend i have is an ejector.

That looks like a pretty run-of-the-mill checkering pattern for a receiver and lockplates with that amount of engraving?!?

I agree it may be a re-stock. The forend is a beaver tail but it is also not up to the same standard as the engraving.
