I could might get some this weekend , its in a gunshop about 50 miles from here . They mostly sell modern guns but they have a little rack with pre 1899 guns and some ww1 surplus rifles . I never looked into 20 ga hammer guns before I just assumed that they were common .
Theyll probably sit in that store forever , most people around here prefer o/u's and if they did buy a sxs theyd probably get a Stoeger . We have alot of quail hunting down here but not by locals . Seems most people who live down here use their shotguns for waterfowling and the most popular gun for that at least in my area is the Benellis .
They had two of them 20 gauge hammer guns 30" barrels , but one was off the face but the Baker seemed rock solid . What chamber length was 20 gauge guns back then ?
