12 Gauge Browning Shotgun:
Made in Belgium 1940-1949, at this time John Browning because of WW2 was forced to cut production and hired Remington Arms as a conduit to access the Belgians he worked had worked with prior to the war. Barrel in great shape internally, bluing is non existent on any metal. Zero rust, plug is missing. Modified fixedbarrel Ready to last for the rest of your life and them some, performs flawlessly. The butt has been repaired by a 13 year old dumbass, me! I found a brand new old stock butt for this Model A5 for $45 on GunBroker, this one is "unfinished" meaning that no stain or poly had been applied. Other than the Butt Stock repair this guns stands as 100% original. This gun has it's own name, our family called him Thumper, he's got tons of life left in him and he needs to be used.
$500 as is, $600if I buy and install new butt stock which is a 15 minute job.
Fausti o/u 12 gauge:
'Made in Italy , Rarely seen each barrel is individually vented, stacked.
26 Inch Barrels, single trigger with barrel selector, uses choke tube. ONLY have 2 tubes, and no tool. I use my fingers.
Silver beautifully engraved receiver, tang safety, Ejectors. No rust. Padded Butt plate.
The stock has 3 dings I tried to show in the pictures.
I love this gun, it's really quick and smooth and not nearly as bad on your shoulder as a Browning Citori, I love the look of the double vent ribs and they really help on a good Dove shoot. I simply don't use it like it deserves. I have migrated to the smaller gauges to make things sporty. New Fausti's easily get into the 5k-7k range and this is a 95% example of a very nice shotgun, without the stock dings the guns jumps to 98%.
$750
Antonio Zoli o/u 12 gauge:
'Made in Italy for Sears and Roebuck Company.
28 inch Barrels, double trigger, fixed choke tubes, improved cylinder top, modified bottom.
Silver engraved receiver, tang safety, Ejectors, no rust, original non padded butt plate.
'Forearm has marks fight behind receiver, vented rib has 2 indentions, bluing worn at end of barrels. This is from saddle scabbard, used this for hunting bird's while training for Bird dog trials. Killed lots of birds, my granddaddy, father and then me. Again this gun works flawlessly and has 3 generation's do life left. 100% Original and is a low 90's rated gun because of wood and worn bluing at barrels end. Very nice gun for any type wing shooting.
$650
