Anybody have any info on this shotgun? age, value, ect. its 12ga side by side with dual triggers. Thanks for any help.

I've got three.
2 12 ga.
1 20 ga.

I've had one 12 for 50 years and it now has an occasional problem with the second barrel going off--you have to open and close it. Probably 10,000 rounds through it.

They are worth about $200 to $250 in good shape. Just a guess.

I used to have a 20ga. Sold it after I actually patterned it. There was an article in one of the gun rags years ago that said sxs shotties were mostly cross-eyed. I found that to be VERY true of mine.

You can date your gun by looking for a circle with a letter and number inside it. It is usually found in front of the hinge pin or ahead of the triggerguard on bottom of frame. I have no clue what the number is for but the letters start with a-1949, b-1950 etc up to x-1970. I hope this is some help. A real classic, I love mine.

If you're talking about barrel convergence, yes that is true - SxS barrels are regulated (as are SxS rifles) to hit at some point together, after which they will keep going away from each other.

How WELL they are regulated depends on the gun. Most lower-priced guns are not well-regulated - it is expensive and labor intensive. If they're close, then it shouldn't be a problem

I have one. It's been my hunting shotgun for over 25 years! I love that shotgun!
