#HOPKINS AND ALLEN SHOTGUNS SERIAL#
If it has a Damascus barrel, I would strongly recommend not firing it even with black powder loads, the results would likely be detrimental to the gun and the shooter.īy the way, the cost of the parts it requires to restore it exceeds it's value if it were not needing restoration, and if it were in 100% new in the box unfired condition, would only be worth about $50-$100 more than the cost of the parts you are looking for.

If it is missing all those parts, it likely has not been well cared for, and after completing the restoration should be checked by a competent gunsmith to ensure it is safe to fire, if that is the desire of the owner, to fire it I mean. hopkins and allen 12 ga 12 gauge forehand shotgun receiver.

So a modern 2-3/4" shell might drop right in if used as a gauge (and that is NOT the proper way to measure a shotgun's chamber) and yet still be too long for the chamber when fired, resulting in a high pressure situation that would very possibly see that gun come apart in the hands of the shooter. hopkins& allen forehand 12 gauge shotgun barrel 12 ga im selling many parts this week-most are from 5 seperate guns-they are all fully functional and you could put them back together if you were so inclined. Remember, shotgun chamber lengths are based on the length of the open/ FIRED shell, not the length of an unfired shell. So the barrel should be checked to see which it is, and if the desire to fire it after restoration is present, then the length of the chamber should be checked also. Hopkins and Allen went out of business in 1916 as I recall, and right up until the end, these shotguns were offered with Damascus barrels as well as fluid steel barrels.
