Wow...after you said that you weren't a big channel, I checked and noticed that you have 10.5K subscribers. That's criminal! You've got one of the best gun channels on KZbin and should have 10x the subscribers.

@@marshmutt8975 Very nice of you. Thanks. If every subscriber got 10 gun friendly people to subscribe we would really be in business.

Yet another elegant interesting gun I have never seen before. Dude your channel is the best.

[@MilsurpGarage]

Very kind. Thanks for the visit.

[@guaporeturns9472]

That’s a cool one

[@MilsurpGarage]

It IS cool. Feels like a Remington Rolling Block.

[@davidcoudriet8439]

What a great find for my favorite gun channel. You lucky Dog, you!

[@MilsurpGarage]

Wow! Your favorite.....nice. I don’t find them....they find me. Thanks for tuning in.

When the old-timers hung up their muzzle-loaders many of them chose a single-barrel s shotgun for it's all around versatility. The folks in high cotton bought a Remington, a Winchester 37 or an Iver Johnson. Other less prosperous folks bought a hardware store brand of questionable parentage. Nothing beats a single barrel shot-gun for making a box of shells last a long time and teaching a youngster to make every shot count Thanks for the video

Interesting old gun.

[@MilsurpGarage]

@@1957Shep Yes, has the feel of a Remington Rolling Block.

[@crankygunreviews]

Pretty cool!

[@MilsurpGarage]

It IS cool. Amazing how nice it felt to shoot and how it was so intuitively accurate.

I’ve Until Now Have Never Seen One of These #9 Single Shot Remington Shotguns 😀😮😮😇 Very Cool Acquisition Brother 😎👍🏼

[@MilsurpGarage]

Only 60,000 made and 120 years old we must have lost a good amount of them to time but they pop up every now and then.

That hammer lever is a real good idea. I have a old Stevens 310 or something similar to the 310 it has a Goose or Duck flying on the side of the receiver. And I alway cringe when I have to dry fire it. And I know people say it’s not that big a deal to dry fire some guns. I was brought up to NEVER dry fire ANY gun so it’s just stuck with me. However sometimes you can’t get around it and that old Stevens side by side is indeed one of the designs that will force you to do it.

Get a nice pair of snap caps if that bothers you.....just be sure to use strict ammo separation if it's your first foray into snap caps. Get ones that have silicon inserts for "primers" which cushion firing pin impacts. They last forever in break actions....it's feeding mechanisms that chew them up, keep the ones you get just for the 310.

[@bobbyscott8024]

It's really a ''bonus'' when you get an older gun that still has a better than decent bore and shoots well on top of that! I've got a Hopkins and Allen single-shot like that made around the same time with a 32'' full choke barrel. Sadly the bore wasn't ''maintained'' however I'm not afraid to shoot low brass shells in it. The take-down feature must've been the same for most manufacturers then since mine has a similar feature ( same as yours except the last 1/4'' is threaded). I found one in 16ga. and your video just might push me over the edge! 🤔😉

[@MilsurpGarage]

@@bobbyscott8024 Believe it or not, every one of those different pin designs has a different patent. I could’ve showed you a bunch if KZbin didn’t remove my videos that show patent drawings.

"Top snap action”

[@MilsurpGarage]

Last of the "turn of the century" Remingtons.

[@larry648]

I really miss real Remingtons. I have a first year 3200 skeet and a 700 Sendaro that are true craftsmanship. Lot of friend did a lot of trap and skeet with 870’s and 1100’s.

[@jwhiskey242]

I actually have 3 of these. My uncle gave me one in 28 gauge that was missing some parts. I wrote to Remington, and even they aren't sure how many were made and in what configuration. I'd really like to find someone willing to work on these old guns.

[@luisreynoso9445]

Anvil guns?

[@MilsurpGarage]

Ask around at a local gun show. You might have to travel a bit to find the right guy depending on where you live of course but I’m sure you can find someone. Then, there is always shipping to a specialist. Also, these are cheap enough. Might be more cost-effective to buy another one and transfer the working parts into your inherited gun to get it working.

[@randyzwieg8467]

Where I grew up, most farmers that didn't hunt kept a single shot 12 gauge around. They were tools and often not well cared for. That's a nice find.

[@christinamoneyhan5688]

👍🇺🇸Another quality Remington. How is it that these old arms companies come to the Grim Reaper ? We shooters and hunters could buy one of the American built firearms and own it for life. The cost to most amounted to one week pay check. If the owner took pretty good care of them they would bring home the meat for the pot. I would name it Beadless Betty.👍🇺🇸✌🏻🙏🏽😎

I've seen these older bulletproof designs disappear mostly due to cost of manufacturing. Shamefully, the cheaper design and production examples turned a greater profit so those companies prospered.....see the last video on the WInchester Super X which was Winchesters last try at the old school (expensive to produce) way. They lost money on each one as they had to charge less than they needed to to turn a profit so they could remain competitive in the market. That equals failure, not due to an inferior product but do to producing the best product. Crazy, right? In the grand scheme of things, "cost" was a huge factor that frequently outshadowed quality and dominant design.....you either made a cheaper product and sacrificed quality or you didn't compete in the market and your company died. We are going through that with import products from China right now and the huge influx of cheap labor to the country. I'll put Beadless Betty in the running but it sounds like a flat chested woman at Mardi Gras.
