Any of you folks have any experience with one of these? If so what are your thoughts? I have wanted a .410 for awhile now, and found one of these for sale locally.

They were made from '37-'67 and many parts are available at gunpartscorp I'd see what they going for at www.gunsamerica.com and gunbroker and gunsinternational You'd be wise to shoot if first...with short as well as 3" shells if it is so chambered.

I know a guy in his 50's now that got one when he was a kid. It was used when he got it. He still hunts squirrels with it. I think they they made a lot of those bolt action guns. Pretty simple and not a lot to wear out. He has put multiple thousands of rounds through his

They seem like neat little shotguns. The one I was looking at is in very nice shape and was gone over by a local gunsmith.

I think there was a lever action 410 made at one time.I would like to get one of those. Marlin and Winchester each made them in recent history.
I have nothing clever to put here.

I worked on lots of them. Most of the time it was extractor problems.
What do you have going on? This was my first gun when I was a kid. Bought it from a pawn shop for $30. I paid $15 and my dad paid the other $15. I reblued the metal and refinished the stock myself. Mine had the detachable box magazine. I just used it for squirrels, rabbits, and pigeons. I loved it. But guess what, it had a little extractor clip on the bolt and the clip broke. The gun was stolen from me in a home burglary before I got the extractor fixed. I would love to buy another one someday just for nostalgia's sake. I had an opportunity at the last gun show I went to but talked myself out of spending the money on it. I've been kicking myself ever since. Mine had a black, stamped metal clip for an extractor. It just snapped into a groove on the end of the bolt. The one I saw at the gun show recently had a milled and pinned, spring loaded extractor claw. I would think the version with the spring loaded extractor claw would be more reliable than the stamped metal clip.

When i would order extractors, would buy 4 or 5 as I knew the guy would be back and I always had some on hand. Like I said up above lots of extractor problems.
