I own a American Gun Co. sxs shotgun I understand this was actually manufactured by Crescent Arms.
This is a hammered model with serial no. 1849** any idea when it was built?
It seems to have two piece firing pins and the right side front pin is missing or broken. From the looks of it all I need to do to get into it is to unscrew the slotted firing pin "bolster".
At the bottom of these is some knurling, could any one cofirm that these bolsters just unscrew? By bolster what I mean is a hollow tube with a slot cut across it sticking out of the receiver with the rear part of the firing pin sticking out of it.
This shotgun has fluid steel barrels and is very tight and besides their's just something about rabbit ears!
