Gun Collectors Dream Auction #87 General Gun Auction
Lot 32:
Description
This lot consists of a collection of four side-folding stock assemblies with integrated pistol grips designed for the Smith & Wesson Model 3000 12-gauge pump-action shotgun. Each assembly features a side-folding frame constructed of steel wire and tubing with a matte black finish, terminated in a black rubber recoil pad with a diamond-textured face. The integrated pistol grips are made of black polymer and feature the circular Smith & Wesson logo with intertwined characters on both sides. Verbatim markings on the mounting blocks include handwritten white text identifying the units as S&W, 12GA 616 or 3000, and PUMP. One assembly in the group features a distinct hinge mechanism design relative to the other three units. These accessories are designed for modularity and a reduced storage profile of the shotgun.
Condition report:
The metal components exhibit a matte black finish with scattered areas of surface oxidation, light pitting, and finish wear consistent with field use and age. The polymer grips show typical handling marks, scuffs, and minor abrasions but remain free of cracks or structural damage. The folding hinges and locking mechanisms appear to be in functional order. The rubber recoil pads show some surface grime and minor hardening but are otherwise intact and properly seated.
