Special Friday Gun Pr0n

Kim put up a post earlier this week in which he drooled over a 16 gauge side-by-side shotgun. Well, it's not a 16 gauge, but I think there's enough interesting stuff about today's Gun Pic to make up for it...


This is an AM Arms 12 gauge side-by-side shotgun. Patent says 1870. No serial # (it was made before they were mandatory).

There are two things that make this gun extra-interesting.


1. It's a side break rather than a top break.


2. Yep. Made in Boston MA. Currently damn near anti-gun Ground Zero. But once home to a thriving arms manufacturer.

Go figure.

That is all.

I'm not entirely certain this gun is designed to shoot "modern" (i.e. non-black-powder) ammo.

I've got a fine Stevens sbs I could use for clays, actually. Doesn't have the external hammers, but it'll get-r-done...

I don't think I've ever seen a sidebreak other than in photographs; does it play hell with your reflexes if you're bird hunting, I wonder?
