Springfield Arms Company Side-By-Side Shotgun .410 Gauge with 26 Inch Barrels
Description
This Springfield Arms Company side-by-side shotgun is chambered in .410 gauge and configured for 2 1/2 inch shells only. Produced in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, by a subsidiary of Savage Arms, this boxlock action firearm features 26-inch blued barrels with no visible choke markings and a brass bead front sight. The receiver displays a faded case-hardened finish transitioned to a smooth brown patina. The furniture consists of a smooth wood buttstock and a splinter-style forend with a glossy finish, terminated by a black synthetic Savage trade quality mark buttplate. Key markings include Springfield Arms Company, Chicopee Falls, Mass. U.S.A. on the left side of the receiver, while the top of the left barrel is marked .410 Gauge. The matching serial number T62916 is stamped on both the underside of the barrel assembly and the interior of the receiver. A significant horizontal crack is present in the wrist of the stock originating from the receiver, which prospective bidders should take into specific account. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The barrels retain a fair amount of original bluing with scattered surface oxidation and verdigris present along the rib. The receiver finish has largely faded to a brown patina with visible freckling. The bores appear relatively bright with some minor debris. The walnut furniture shows handling marks, dings, and a significant structural crack at the wrist. The action appears to function correctly and locks up tight, though it has not been function-tested with live ammunition.
