What's your 410 double?
« on: June 26, 2013, 01:37:32 AM »
I've got 2, one is a Stevens 311, I bought this years ago while deer hunting in Maine. Found it in a small gun shop there. It was nearly new condition even though it was 30 years old I'd guess. Shoots real good. I keep it in the Florida room just outside the back door for pest control.  ;D

The other is a real nice sterlingworth it's in nice shape finish wise but not quite as tight as the Stevens.

You gotta love those double 410.

I'd love to find one myself but every time I see them they're stupid money. The last one I saw was a Wards Hercules which I believe is a Stevens 311. Some idiot had carved their initials into the side of the receiver in huge letters and the shop owner still wanted $550.  :o

Not a lot of them survived. Typically they were used hard. I've seen nice 311s bring $800 and lefevers bring up to $2000.

Stupid money you be the judge.

Now a Parker in 410. Only 2 or 3 known to exist. Hundreds of thousands.

Steven 311A model
Use it for skeet and California Quail when walking 5 miles is a short hunt.  the light weight gun and ammo allow me to carry spare water for me and my friends dog that will not wear you out that the same ammo and the heavier 12 ga will.   
Also when you have a wounded Quail on the ground and the dog is off finding something else, the 410 at 20 feet has a pattern exactly the same size as a quails head.

Mine is just a utilty grade stoeger upland SxS gun. I got it when I lived in swamp land because it was so thick. Close shots on swamp rabbits would tear them up. The 410 was perfect a 2 1/2" shell wouldn't tear them up bad. I live up in the mountains now and it's pretty thin. I just use a 22 for the cottontails these days.

The wife has a neat little SxS with hammers that folds in half. I really don't know what it is but always liked it. It doesn't have a serial number, or name on it that I've ever seen.

I really like your wife's double 410. I've seen single shots like that but not a double. I believe the SSs were Spanish made.  ;D

I think you're right on that Pastor. Here's one over in England and it says Spanish Parkemy.

It's not at the house currently. Her dad is borrowing it to thin squirrels that are chewing holes in the screened in porch and eating up everything in there. Last I heard he'd went to trapping them in cages and cooking them up though. I think the neighbors were complaining of early morning gunfire in the city.  :D

What!!! Early morning gunfire.......  :o sounds like my neighborhood.  ;D of course I only have 2 neighbors close enough to hear their gunfire, and don't really care if they shoot. In the Deep South we mind our own business.  ;)

He's staying with his sister to help take care of her husband who is blind with fading health. They live in a well to do suburb. He's just an ole' mountain man type. Ruffling some feathers with the uppity locals. I always find it commical when I talk to him. The neighbors have either called the home owners association or the law on him. This is a suburb in AL. So that makes it even funnier. Either yankees or city folks I guess. Watching that Duck Commander show reminds me of him.  :D
Well sorry to sidetrack your topic Pastor have a good one.

No problem, maybe we should keep the thread going about how useful the 410 is around a place. Especially for guys with aging eyes.  :o

But with the cost of the shells it would be better to keep a 20 ga around.  Cheaper shells, more pellets, and wider hole to ensure hits.
