HA517 Remington Model 332 O/U 12 Ga. 3" 25"MC Bbls., NIB, $1,450

For a full page of  photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.

Now apparently discontinued, this has become a very collectable firearm. This may be the last Remington Over/Under model made in the United States. This Remington 332 is a modern version of the classic Model 32.  It has a high gloss finish on both wood and metal, making it suitable for hunting or clay target sports.  It has nominal 26" (actual 25 3/8") barrels with Remchokes in Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder.  It chambers both 2 3/4" and 3" shells, and appears to have a long forcing cone to reduce felt recoil.  It has a 14 1/8" length of pull over the Old-English-style solid-rubber recoil pad.  The cut engraving on the receiver has the same "Pointer and Setter" motif as the original Model 32.  The barrel selector is in the middle of the non-automatic safety on the top tang.  It has an underlock Browning style design for a low receiver.  The gun goes together very smartly and looks and feels well made.  It has automatic ejectors.  Altogether, in my opinion, this is a simple well constructed gun which will give years of satisfactory shooting, or may increase in value as a collectible. It has a two year warranty from Remington and it comes with a Lifetime Replacement warranty from Davidson's. (Click the GuaranteeD Logo for details:)

HA498 Winchester 101 Pigeon-Presentation Trap O/U, 12 Ga. 30"F/IM, Refinished, Cased, $3,950

For a full page of  photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.

This is a rare and beautifully engraved Winchester 101 Pigeon-Presentation Grade trap gun.  The wood has been professionally refinished by Klaus Hiptmayer and the gun is in exceptional condition. I call it a Pigeon-Presentation Grade because I am unable to find reference to a Pigeon Grade with the gold and silver inlays that are in this particular pattern, which is the Presentation grade pattern.  The ordinary 101 Pigeon Grade has a silver finish receiver, and the Super Pigeon Grade has different birds on the two sides.  It comes in a new, fitted solid leather case with space for snap caps and cleaning supplies, straps, and with a canvas cover to protect the case.  Have a look at the details of the engraving and the gold and silver inlays and you will see why this is the rival of the Browning Midas grade.  This would make a wonderful present for yourself, or for someone you wish to honor.

This Custom Grade Huglu Ringneck is imported by CZ-USA.  It features lightly hand engraved case colored sideplates and very highly figured Turkish walnut furniture.  With its 14 7/8" Length Of Pull and 7 pound weight it would make an excellent hunting or skeet gun for either a right or left handed shooter.  It has a non-automatic safety, mechanical trigger, and Prince of Wales stock with a sporting 2 part butt pad.  Its 20 gauge 28" barrels have 3" chambers and screw in chokes in Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Cylinder constrictions.
