i81u0022

I have come accross an old 12GA pump with 17inch barrel it is pistol gripped and very solid looking. It reminds me of so old winchesters. It has 12GA stamped on the left side of the barrel and their is a star on both sides of the *NATIONAL FIRE ARMS CO.* stamp.

Im just curious if anyone has any info on this shotgun. I can find anything on it.

All I can tell ya is,w/a 17" bbl.,ya best not get caught with it!!

(Legal minimum bbl.length is 18".)

BTW,is this the same gun?

If so,I guess it shrunk a little in a few years.

National Firearms Company guns were made by Hopkins and Allen Arms Company, Crescent Fire Arms Company and, after 1915, by the Marlin Firearms Company.
