Description:
SOLD A very rarely encountered Single shoy 16ga CYL. choke with a barrel of 30" and very clean shiny bore, and a chamber od 2 3/4" bur black powder shells only. The action is a side lever falling block amf is tight. The American black walnuy stocks are very good with minor field handling dings and scrapes, with a LOP of about 14 1/2". 1871-1881 (The 1871 date is from the patent date on the barrel). The top of the barrel is marked “MANUFACTURED BY DEXTER SMITH, SPRINGFIELD, MASS. PAT. JAN.8.&OCT.1.67.FEB.14.&MAR.7.71” Very little seems to be known about Dexter Smith except that he was the son of Horace Smith of Smith & Wesson, and that he was in business between 1867and 1881. This is a rolling block shotgun with a lever on the right side of the frame for actuating the breechblock instead of a lever attached to the breechblock itself. . The receiver is nickle plated and the barrel turned to plum brown. We think the collectors of 19th Century American military arms as well as collectors of rolling block rifles will be interested in this shotgun. comes with a piece of history Overall very clean and original.
When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith before shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost. We don’t have a web site .I prefer money orders or a check. Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of older guns If you attempt to buy, you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed. Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only. I’m easy to get along with. Thank You[JB1]
