Shotguns Descriptions
Browning Silver Hunter
The Browning(R) Silver Hunter(TM) Matte is a lightweight, fast handling semi-auto shotgun that's designed with upland bird hunting in mind; though its self-adjusting Active Valve gas system increases its versatility to include most any type of wing shooting or shooting sport. The Active Valve gas system vents excess gas out the top of the forearm, and away from the receiver for clean, reliable operation with 2-3/4" and 3" shells, without the need or adjustment. The Silver Hunter Matte model comes with a matte blued barrel, a 2-tone silver/black receiver, and a checkered Turkish walnut stock with a brown, ventilated recoil pad. The semi-humpback receiver design with a ventilated rib and brass front bead creates a sight picture that's quick to pick up and swing on moving targets. The barrel comes back bored and threaded for Browning's Invector-Plus choke tubes (includes IC, M, & F) to deliver consistently tight shot patterns. The low recoiling Browning Silver Hunter Matte Semi-Auto Shotgun allows for fast follow-up shots and all-day shooting comfort on the clays range or wing shooting.Lightweight and fast handling2-tone silver/black receiverBlued barrelTurkish walnut stockVentilated recoil padActive Valve gas systemCycles 2-3/4" and 3" shellsVent rib and brass front beadInvector-Plus choke tubesBack bored barrel
Lefaucheux Pinfire Double-Barrel Shotgun
The Lefaucheux Pinfire Double-Barrel Shotgun was developed by Casimir Lefaucheux, a gun maker from Paris, France. He had developed the break-action gun that is so well known today but was pretty radical at that time. His Pinfire shotgun was not loaded through the muzzle but from the breach with a paper tube/shell that contained gun powder and the shot. At the rear of the shell was a Pinfire primer that was struck by a hammer in the rear of the breech. To unload and load the shotgun, the shooter would break open the shotgun at the breach, remove the leftover paper from the shell and insert a new one. Lefaucheux was making these shotguns until 1877. Later brass shells would be used more often and they could be reloaded with black powder and shot almost an unlimited number of times. The Lefaucheux Pinfire system became obsolete by centerfire shells.
