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

Lithgow Small Arms Lithgow .410 Shotgun

In 1949 a .410 single shot bolt action shotgun was built on the SMLE action at Lithgow Small Arms Factory. Some 6600 were produced and marketed by Slazenger. It uses the 303 SMLE action and is fitted with a military steel barrel. The butt and rear sight are standard 303 fittings while the fore-end and foresight have been modified. The magazine opening is blanked off and the gun is only a single shot. Production ceased in the late 1950s and there don’t appear to be many around in good condition. The 25" barrel is fine-bored and full-choked to throw close, even pattern, and it's chambered to handle all standard lengths of .410 gauge shells from 2" to 3".
