Between the years 1912 to 1945 Hunter Arms Company manufactured 3,659 20-gauge Ideal Grade guns and 1936 shipped with 28″ barrels. The Ideal Grade is not rare, so how do you know which one to buy? IT IS EASY TO BUY THE WRONG GUN WITH COSTLY ISSUES. At Vintage Firearms, Inc. (VFI) we inspect each gun before purchase, our 5 gunsmiths clean and service each gun as needed, and on most guns, we strip the actions to the smallest parts, Ultrasonic clean and scrub all parts to shiny metal, inspect all parts for integrity and function, make any replacements or repairs necessary, lubricate and reassemble, providing VFI CERTIFIED GUNS, a $325 service in our shop. VFI CERTIFIED GUNS have a 90-day mechanical warranty providing confidence you are buying a fine shotgun that will provide years of service in the field. Other sellers DO NOT provide this service. VFI GUNSMITHS HAVE LENGTHENED THE CHAMBERS TO 2 ¾” AND EXTENDED THE FORCING CONES TO 1 ½” TAPERS SO THAT YOU CAN SHOOT MODERN 2 ¾” FIELD LOADS. This is a $440 service in our shop. Modern chambers and long forcing cones makes for safe shooting with softer recoil and better patterns, which benefit the shooter and preserve the integrity of these fine older doubleguns. Other important factors when buying a shotgun is the condition of the metal, screws, wood, and bores. We provide the most comprehensive photography and specifications in the marketplace to guide you in making an informed choice. Just remember, nowhere is it more apparent than in the gun world…you get what you pay for! If you want an upland gun you can rely on, buy one that is field ready and can safely shoot modern, available field loads. This 20ga, SN FW37606 was manufactured in 1921, it weighs 6 pounds 2 ounces, almost ½ pound lighter than most L.C. Smith 20ga. guns! The gun has modern dimensions (If you would like different dimensions Vintage Firearms offers a stock bending service to perfectly fit the gun to you, please call us with any questions). The nicely figured wood has been restored by our stock maker with a 99% hand rubbed oiled finish (ONE LIGHT MARK RH SIDE OF BUTT STOCK), the checkering is in perfect condition and a VFI installed vintage Noshoc red rubber pad adds the finishing touch. An elegant looking shotgun in profile this gun looks fast, its fine splinter forend with ebony wedge and capped pistol grip gives it real purpose. The M/F barrels are tight as new on hinge pin and breech face, with the top lever way right of center guaranteeing many years of service. The dark blue barrel compliments the action’s 80% factory original case color that has faded thin over the years. The trigger guard retains 70% factory finish while wood to metal fit is superb. This double is ready for another one hundred years of action- the Ideal gun! With the upland bird season upon us, this gun will not last long. There is nothing this gun needs as it has all been fully serviced and restored with a 90 day warranty. It does need one thing: a date in the field in your hands! See specifications below. Thank you for looking.
