Street Howitzer / Coach Gun / Saw off shot gun 12 Ga. steel barrels

Description:
Coach Gun / Saw off shot gun / Street Howitzer / Scatter Gun.  The Coach Gun received its many moniker on the stagecoaches and streets of the Wild West.  Stagecoach companies quickly implemented the use of guards to ride along side the driver carrying a weapon that allowed for some leeway in accuracy as they bounced along the bumpy trails.  These Cut-down version Shotgun were also popular among Marshals and Sheriffs for their mobility and lenient accuracy at close quarters.  The best feature of this gun is the beautiful smooth brown on the double barrels. The wood has some short minor cracks around the locks but is completely solid and serviceable.  That has been checked by our in house wood worker and is guaranteed to be stable. The dings and mars that do appear tell of use and service provided. It is obvious that care was taken when wiping down the bores. Thumb the locking lever and you can break open the gun to reveal the lead-spitting barrels of this close-quarters defense weapon. The barrels shows a bright shinny bore, not common for these old shotguns.  Close and lock the barrels and cock both hammers. Finger the double triggers one at a time and the hammers will fall. On the plains of the late 19th century there was nothing else like the sound of a shotgun hammer. The feel and action of this legendary Old West tool will transport you back to the Dakota Territory, when your trusty shotgun was your last and best line of defense. Features Overall Length: 36", with 20 inches barrels and 2 3/4 inch chambers. Lock up is tight and secure. The hard rubber butt is solid with no cracks and the stock shows wear from its age.  Marked on left lock plates is the name AMERICAN GUN CO. NEW YORK. This Coach Gun is in good mechanical working order . Great for cowboy loads or blanks
