's message, "Re: Volunteer Arms Co." on 16:33:49 06/02/03 Mon
First off, i don't know much about the workings(except loading shoot and minor cleaning) of guns.. or ammunitions... So im curious if i got screwed over by a "trusted senior neighbor of mine"
I paid $90 for this gun. everything is intact .. but trigger guard(if it ever had one) and a couple of screws are missing from underneath where the stock supports the barrels...
I recently bought a Shotgun from a older neighbor of mine. When I Acquired this shotgun the man told me it was a
"Winchester King Nitro" ... It says King Nitro of the side plating .. but i can find no evidence of Winchester anywhere.. It is a Double-Barrel ... Breakbarrel
I was also told that this gun was a Twist Barrel or Damascus Steel barrel, by a local gun shop... although he wasnt topo sure about the manufacturer... any hints..
this gun has what looks like to pins at the end of each barrel. It also has a four digit number on the barrel and plate that the barrel rests on ... Is this the Registration #?...

I have a volunteer .410 that is very old and wish I knew how to find out when it was manufactured. I have the serial number.
