My Grandfathers Guns - Stevens .410 Shotgun 4/6

[@MichelJPW]

I inherited my grandfathers Sears branded version of this shotgun, Ranger 101.12. Thank you for showing the strip so I can give a good clean and inspection before shooting it

@@MichelJPW I hope you will be able to shoot it and a great memory from your grandfather .

I just ordered me a Savage/Stevens model 58. Magazine fed 410 and it was only 100 beans.

[@cheapers1952]

Did you order it right through Savage

Cool old shotty!! Love seeing them old 410’s. I adore the .410 cartridge. It’s highly underrated.

[@milsurprifleguy7091]

Thanks , the .410 has it’s place , it was nice that I have one that was my grandfathers

[@silverbullet7434]

The first gun I ever hunted with and shot my first rabbit running in an old bog. Dad borrowed it but sure wish I owned it just for the memory . Not sure of the model but it had tube feed magazine.

[@Patriot-rising]

These were always cool little shotguns. My dad used one to hunt rabbits. I own the shotgun now but I am not a hunter. I shoot 3 gun comp. So the ole 59a sits in the safe.

[@milsurprifleguy7091]

I have not done a 3 gun , don’t know how well I would do . It is nice that you have your fathers shotgun , you may have to get the shotgun out & put a few rounds through it , just so it does not feel left out of the fun

[@unclearthur9192]

G'Day from Australia, I enjoyed seeing your father's shotgun in action. I have my recently deceased father in law's single shot German made .22 rifle that he used to shoot rabbits over 74 years ago. A little piece of family history that I treasure and shoot sometimes. Ignore the mean comment(s). They were childish and petty! Cheers, Steve

[@milsurprifleguy7091]

Thank you that you enjoyed seeing me shooting the shotgun . It was my grandfathers , then my father acquired them and myself . Most of what I collect are military surplus rifles Yet these have a place because I know my grandfather bought and used them . It is nice to know others appreciate older firearms and that you have a connection to yours . Yes , I realized from the beginning that there would be comments good or bad , and if I can’t handle that I would not make videos . Thanks for watching and your comment , hope all is well with you .

I got one of this for free after a lady I know husband passed and she has no use for it. Asked me one day if I wanted it, of course I quietly replied.

[@milsurprifleguy7091]

All those prices on mail oder.......back when America 🇺🇸 was free😢😢😢😢😢

[@milsurprifleguy7091]

Yes , I have looked up older Ads on guns through mail order and think , wow , I wish I could get them for that price now , but so would everyone else

[@davidbutler2125]

I am old enough to remember Montgomery ward. If those shells come from Montgomery ward they have to be over 30 years old or older. You'll be lucky if they don't blow up in your face. Montgomery Ward has not existed around here in almost 40 years

[@milsurprifleguy7091]

If they were not from my dad I would not had used them . I know where they came from and how they had been stored . If it had been anything else I would not have used them .As it was I only used what was in the video . As with Wards , Ben Franklin , TG&Y , Ventures , all long gone .

[@MegaRiffraff]

I have one of those my uncle gave it to me in 1967

[@milsurprifleguy7091]

That’s great to be able to have something from in the family .

Nice video by any chance you happen to know the bolt stop crew size lost the original one and now try to make a new one thank you

[@milsurprifleguy7091]

Thank you , no , I do not know the screw size for the bolt stop

[@nizzlefrizzle8869]

I recently inherited the Savage Springfield model 18f 410 i was wondering what kind of shells you recommend I shoot out of it? It is chambered for both 3 and 2 1/2 with what i believe to be a non removable choke

[@milsurprifleguy7091]

Give me a little time to look into that for you , also at 6:00am I am going out of town till later on Sunday evening

[@nizzlefrizzle8869]

@@milsurprifleguy7091 awesome thanks

[@milsurprifleguy7091]

I have looked into this and asked the questions different ways . There isn’t a lot of info out there . It says the Savage Springfield was the economy line or utility grade for the average person . Do you or any one else knows when he bought the shotgun ? Meaning , at least you would know it was made in that year or earlier . For me not seeing it and based on your question , you can use the specified 2 1/2 or 3 inch shells in it . Now for what load , until you know for sure , my opinion would be using target loads . Besides having the shotgun were any shells given to you , as an indicator of what was being used in it . I wish I could tell you more than this , which possibility is not much help .

@@nicholasshipley5262 what a bummer , & frustrating , knowing someone broke into the house and stole the firearms . I would think it was someone around that knew everyone was gone for an extended amount of time , that he was a police officer & figured there would be firearms in the house . I take it , since you did not mention it , that they were not recovered

That old box of ammo is kinda collectible.. probably worth as much as the shotgun

[@milsurprifleguy7091]

I used vintage ammo for a vintage shotgun & for what I used did not matter a lot since I have quite a bit more of it , if all I had was just the one box I would not have used it , I would have used something else . It is nice that others appreciate the older firearms & ammunition they used .

Wow. You’re a pretty unhappy guy, aren’t you? I’m sorry you’re so miserable that you need to make stupid comments to people from the safety of being behind your screen/phone. That’s a sad way to live your life. I hope it gets better for you.

[@necummins8696]

It could not be a single shot if it's has magazine tube. How many paint chips did you eat as a child.? A single shot means one single shot in a shotgun. I'm willing to bet you sniffed magic markers as a kid either that or you got yourself into some resin

[@maxsinger3526]

Why are you being so mean to a guy on the internet shooting a gun that means something to him? Like you just look sad.

[@unclearthur9192]

Try being nice for a change! Your comments were childish.

[@necummins8696]

Yeah let's shoot Montgomery Ward ammunition cuz I'm pretty sure that is classic ammunition that shouldn't be shot because of simple reason it's worth a lot of money or historical value. Yep your daddy definitely had his cousin 🤣🤣🤣🤣💯

[@milsurprifleguy7091]

I have plenty more , the few that I used will not make a difference in the amount that I still have or the cost of using them

[@guaporeturns9472]

Not a single shot
