Does it shoot modern shells?I go through em like wildfire. I still own a Ranger 104.3 sXs 12ga, which is a 1916-19 era Sears branded LC Smith by Hunter Arms. Tight as a drum and a good shooter.

I think that the Ted Williams o/u 400 20ga was a remarked Winchester 101 made in JapanSaw a Ted Williams (Sears) M400 over/under in 20ga for sale for $900 recently. Passed on it. Regret it.
I would love to own a department store gun, just as a piece of history. Coincidentally I'd also like an O/U in 20ga for teal/dove.
What other shotguns should I be on the lookout for? Have any of you seen any good deals on old dept store guns?

The Gunsmith that looked at my Mauregan Arms 12 ga put something in where the shell goes and said not to shoot modern shells, he told me to hang it on the wall.Absolutely.

I have had a western auto parts revelation (mossberg 500) for 23 years now. It was a 15th birthday gift purchased used at the gun shack in Union Bridge for $75.
Cool, I don't have the means to do any of that I guess it will just stay in the safe for now as I still haven't hung it on the wall but they are great conversation guns. BTW thanks for the infoIf it's a short-chambered or damascus, just load roll crimped black powder or sub 2 1/2" shells...it's what I do for my ~1894 Burgess. I have a whole thread on how to do it somewhere on here.

Westernfield Ward ATI 600.. Remington 878 with fancy pressed checkering and Dog and Pheasant on sides of action. Great shooters preceding the 1100's limited production, but very hard to pass on at $270 . Shot a 41/50 first time out on sporting clays.
