Up-Date From Rick & Kathy

by Rick on January 10, 2012

 

We hope everyone had a nice Christmas and a fantastic start to their new year. The gun shows have started up again, we did the Tanner Pueblo show, January 7&8, Saturday was busy but with the football game it was pretty slow Sunday.

This weekend January 14 & 15 we will be at the Sertoma show in Colorado Springs; on Academy and Palmer Park, if you are coming to the show stop by and say howdy, we always like to visit.

If you’re out and about and can’t make it to the gun shows stop on by the store and have a cup of coffee.

FIREARM OF THE WEEK OR MONTH

by Rick on December 29, 2011

Ithaca model 37 Military Shotguns

12 gauge

Trench Gun WWII

30” Barrel

RLB & Ordnance Bomb

(P) on barrel

Serial 57XXX

The Ithaca model 37 is the rarest of all military Trench shotguns, its commercial blue finish is highly polished, the “RLB” and ordnance bomb is stamped on the left side of receiver, with “P” stamped on barrel, and the stocks were not proofed.

There were three types, one as pictured above had the 30” barrel no hand guard or bayonet attachment, the second style looked exactly like the one pictured above except it had a 20” barrel, and the third style had the hand guard and bayonet attachment with a 20” barrel. Only 1,420 Trench guns were ordered in 1941 the serial number range 49,000-62,000.

 

 

This particular Trench shotgun is the Long Barrel 30”, it has a small hair line scratch on stock otherwise it is in great shape for its age, wood is dark rich brown, the caliber is 12gauge.

 

The Model 37 Military Marked Trench Gen (WWII) was built in three different configurations; The one pictured here is the 30” barrel, they also produced a  20” barrel, and 20” barrel with hand guard and bayonet lug.

This rifle is a rarity and a valuable assist to be treasured in any collection

Cheyenne Wells Machine Gun Shoot

by Rick on December 27, 2011

As many of you are probably aware the annual Cheyenne Wells machine gun shoot was canceled and never took place in 2011 we were so disappointed. If we hear of a machine gun shoot in 2012 we will be placing it here on our site.
