A couple days ago, I bought a Stevens model 311 series h 12 ga. double barrel shotgun. I bought it from my neigbor. We both live in Washington state. The guy my neigbor got it from lived in Portland, Oregon. From what I’ve heard, it’s illegal to trnsport firearms across state lines, but my neigbor did it, not me. So, does anyone have the right to take the shotgun away from me? I also heard that this rule only applies to "handguns", and not shotguns or rifles.
My great grandfather left my dad a double barrel shotgun that has been sitting in our attic since he got it. My dad has no interest in it and refuses to do anything to find out its make or what kind of shells it takes. I have searched all over it for some form of identifying it, a serial number, a manufacturers logo or whatever and I cant find anything.It is a break action double barrel but thats all I know,
I live in an area where rifle hunting isnt permitted, so I need info about buying a shotgun, that would be capable of shooting slugs… I do not want a double barrel shotgun, I just want a single barrel. What can I expect to pay for a decent gun, but nothing too fancy I just want to shoot a deer or two… include some links if ya can.
I live in a town home type condo complex with a common wall on two sides of my unit. I’ve had a 9mm hand gun for a while and just inherited a double barrel shot gun.
For home defense, what would be the best choice, the 9mm hand gun or a double barrel shotgun?
I am concerned about accidently injuring a neighbor, the 9mm is sure to go though at least one if not two or more walls but it is only one bullet. Versus the shotgun were there would be 5-10 pellets in a buck shot type round or dozens of much smaller pellets in bird shot type round but what they might not penetrate as many walls.
Any opinions please.
speshal:
I live in California not Afghanistan
I don’t want to buy new weapons and I hope not to have to use them so I am stuck with the guns a I have: A 1918 Luger (9mm) and a double barrel 12 ga Shotgun; nitro speical made in 1924 by Ithica arms of New York (a duck hunting gun?)
I want to thank everyone for posting their replies, it’s been very informative! There were several answers I think are the best but haven’t quite decided which one just yet.
I think my best options are selecting the right type of ammo both guns; something like the Glaser safety slug for the 9mm and low brass/low recoil #8 type bird shot for the shotgun for home defense.
And then keep some high power 9mm rounds and 00 buck shot 3in for; insurrection, rioting and radio active zombies.

My double barrel shotgun has a modified choke and a full choke. Is it okay to shoot LEAD buckshot through both of them?Try to keep in mind that it is an older shotgun, (12 ga. I’m not quite sure how old it is, probably somewhere from 50 – 15 years old), so it probably has wall thinner than most shotguns made today.
A friend of mine has a german drilling double barrel shotgun with a large rifle caliber on top, it’s totally engraved and is a ghost to find any info on, can you help?
My grandpa has an antique double barrel shotgun (we’re talking really old as there are absolutely no serial numbers or trademarks on any part of the gun). Unfortunately, there was a leak in his attic during a rainstorm and now a large patch of rust has formed on the barrels. Is there any way I can remove this rust without causing irreparable damage to the firearm?
My aunt gave me a double barrel shotgun made by Utica Firearms Co. and the gun has the cocking hammers exposed, its a side by side obviously but sometimes the hammers dont fully strike the firing pins, which would most definatly cause problems when trying to shoot. the gun appears to be really old, but descent in appearence. What could be causing this problem? is it a simple fix that i could do? or should i have my local gunsmith take care of it for me?
It’s a Fine Damascus Steel double-barrel shotgun made from Utica Fire Arms Co., I don’t know anything about it, if you know anything, I’d like to know too please, thank you!
Everything on the gun is in excellent condition, small crack in the stock, and has 2 years of ciggarette smoke on it, How can I remove it safely? Thank you.
Just as it says above. I am in search of a holster for a airsoft sawed off double barrel shotgun, and also if anyone would like to recommend a sawed off shotgun…particularly gas-powered, I welcome it, and would very much appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
