Anybody collect 410 shotguns
I have alot of other guns but the last 5 or 6 I bought have been 410's. Two browning 42 gr5's nib, Remington 1100 made in 1979 nib, Remington 870 Made in 1978 nib, Browning citori gr3 (been shot some with box), and a browning superposed 410 made 1974 nib. I have a few other 410's. I am looking for winchester 42 vent rib in real good shape and a winchester 23 410 and a remington 11-48 410.
I also like older s&w pistols. Some people think it is crazy to buy these old 410's that have not been shot and will not be shot. Is there anybody else that like the little 410's.

Don't really collect them, but would like to find a Mississippi Valley Arms SxS. If you happen to know of/run across any please, let me know.[:)] 0 -
I love 410's too!! I especially like Winchester 42's. Personally I prefer a skeet model with a solid rib. I believe I read once that no 42 left the Winchester factory with a vent rib. Simmons installed them. I also like Marlin Model 90 410/22 and 410/410 o/u's. Not to leave out the Marlin 410 lever action from around 1930. I really like to shoot a Citori Superlight 410. Years ago, my dad had 2 11-48's one of them a 410 and the other a 28 gauge. Both Skeet models. I'm sorry he traded them off.
I just picked another field model 42 that I will be listing soon. Along with a Stevens 410 O/U with the split hammers.
When I was a kid, I started out with a 410 like most young hunters and when it was time to move up I always went back to the 410 until I got a chance to shoot a 28 gauge. Now that is my favorite and it has been for the last 30+ years! I guess the Marlin 410 lever is my favorite 410. Thanks for letting me ramble!!0 -
I love 410s. I own a few but don't outright search for them. When I do happen to run in to one for sale though I start drooling and just have to have it. It was the first shotgun my brothers and I learned to hunt with. Sucker for single shots but my favorite that I own is an very old short sxs(stagecoach like). 0 -

I like the Winchester 42, also. I don't have a MArlin lever action .410, but I just might spring for one someday.0 -
Send me your email address.
There is a guy locally who has a win 42 410 for sale. I have bought several guns from him. I can put you in touch.0 -
410s are a great all around gun. The 42's, 870's and 1100's keep going up in price year after year so they seem like a good thing to collect to me. I see more and more people hunting with them also. 0 -
I favor the 42's and the stevens side by sides. 0 -
I like the 410 as a cartridge, but I've never really found an affordable "small scale" platform to shoot it in... maybe one day I'll be able to afford one of the fancy shmancy ones... 0 -
I have a Stevens .22/.410 Over under with the tenite stock. One of my favorite guns. And its really quite accurate with the slugs.
I love .410's
Thinking of getting a Saiga.0 -
A model 42 skeet gun is about the only gun left on my gotta have list.
The problem has always been the price. When I finally get ready to pay what they wanted the price has gone up again. So I guess the only thing I can do is to keep putting $1.00 a week into my retirement plan/lottery tickets fund.0 -
I have an 11-48, in .410 that my pop gave me, when his eyes went bad.. He bought it in the earley 50's i believe. It was the only gun i ever saw him hunt with. No ! You can't have it.. 0
