Description:
SCARCE MODEL 36 SINGLE SHOT BOLT ACTION 9MM RIMFIRE SHOTGUN, MADE 1921-1929. These little guns are best described by George Madis in The Winchester Handbook as follows: In a departure from the trend to smokeless powder, Winchester produced the Model 36 single shot shotgun, intended for use only with black powder. Two rimfire shot cartridges were made by Winchester for the Model 36; the 9MM SHORT, or single charge, and the 9MM LONG, or double charge cartridge. Both of these shells were loaded with number nine shot. A ball cartridge was also offered. This little shotgun was considered a "garden gun" and an all around gun for boys or men. (Sounds a little sexist by today's standards...does that mean girls and women were forbidden from using the Model 36?) A total of 25781 of these were made when it was discontinued in 1929- no doubt the stock market crash and following Great Depression killed this odd little shotgun. When found today, they are usually in horrible condition as they were "garden guns" used for that purpose and usually didn't see the care and cleaning of the owner's other sporting guns. This one is one of the better examples I've seen as it has the original gum wood stock which is not cracked or chipped and retains good original wood finish. The barrel blue has aged and thinned to brown with excellent markings intact. the bore is basically bright with a few dark spots that will probably brush out. Has the correct bead front sight and no provision for a rear sight. Exc. mechanically and retains the original hard rubber butt plate. A true unique Winchester oddity!
