andy74 Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Guys, Could any of you experts out there please give me any info on the following gun, I have searched high and low and can't seem to find anything. I recently obtained a very old double barrell .410 s/s double trigger, hammer gun. I im quite interested in finding any info out about the gun, as i might sell it if anyone is interested. First glance the gun is very old looking, but at the same time looks very nice. Dont know if its quite a collectors piece, but could be wrong. The gun itself has "modern arms co" stamped on the top of the barrell, along with the stamp to say its been nitro proofed. Shoots very well, knocks clays out of the sky at 20-25 yards away. Could this be of interest to anyone, or can anybody please enlighten me on the background, and possible value of the gun. The gun is deffianately on the market now, and all reasonable offers considered. Cheers Guys Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Geordie Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 The gun is a mass produced 410 SbS and known as Foreign or Spanish or Belgian being the most popular you can find them on Guntrader and they can fetch from £65 to silly money for a excellent cond one. I just scrapped one a few month ago as the bores were badly pitted and it was gonna cost more to have them sleeved than it would have cost for a Perrazzi. Hope the price thing helps LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
