Thanks for visiting our Vintage Style Rifles and Shotguns Page. Please check our Doubles page and other classifications for similar style long guns.

For those kind enough to offer to trade or sell us your guns, please bear in mind that internet listing is very labor intensive. One area is gun cleaning. The camera will find dirt and pitting if it’s trained in on closeup shots. We spend lots of time cleaning guns. Few people clean their guns, and that is a shame.

Discount schedule: 2% discount for orders paid by USPS Money Order. Shipping rates are at the bottom of the page.

Henry 1860 Military Uberti Mint in Box

Here is, as advertisers remind us, one of the most cursed designs from a Confederate viewpoint during the Civil War. It was, next to the Gatling Gun, one of the latest and most destructive military firearms of that period, the Military Henry. This is an excellent, faithful replica manufactured by the Premier Arms Maker Aldo Uberti and Sons in Italy. This one is the original brass frame variety, tricked out with brass butt plate, front sight, and magazine spring handle. Lever, hammer, and trigger are expertly color casehardened. The rifle bears identical markings to the original Henrys with the tasteful additions of Italian Proof Marks and Manufacturer / Importer label on the top barrel flat: Cimarron Arms Importer, Fredericksburg, Texas, and A. Uberti. The nicely figured walnut buttstock bears inspector’s cartouches same as the originals. This specimen is in mint condition, unfired and never loaded in its original box with cellophane wrapper and instruction manual. While we cannot find a date code on this rifle, most likely it was manufactured in 2006. This Henry has the standard 24 ½ inch barrel, and holds about 12 rounds of .45 Colt cartridges. It came from a collection liquidation by one of our favorite Floridians. Replacement price on this rifle in our area is upwards of $1400.00. We’re offering this fine specimen, however, for only $ 1139.95

Winchester 97 Copy Norinco 12 ga 2 ¾ in 20 in Blue & Walnut

While we aren’t exactly wild about Chinese knives, their guns are a different story. Here is a very nice copy of the Winchester 1893 or 1897 pump gun with a beautiful genuine American Walnut stock and forend, and a matte blue finish. These are excellent quality shotguns, and we have sold a couple dozen of them since Interstate Arms of Billerica, Massachusetts, began importing them a few years back. These are marked Model 93 / 97. This shotgun, we are told, is approved in most Cowboy Action venues. Beyond that, though, it’s just a good shotgun. We consider them to be underpriced. Own one, the one in the photo or one of its identical mates, for only $ 279.95 $299 Delivered to the Lower 47 States with USPS Money Order Payment.

Browning .22 Take-Down Interarms Norinco ca. 1990

This is one of the neat little copies of John Moses Browning’s Take Down .22 Autoloaders, manufactured in the early days of Norinco ascendancy of the early 1990s. It is in Very Good, perhaps even Excellent, condition. Chinese manufacturers, SKS’s aside, have never flooded the gun market like they have the knife market. We have had excellent service experience with all forms of Chinese made firearms, including this one. These are, by our memory, occasionally ammo finicky, and best results come from using Winchester or Federal Ammunition. This rifle has only light to moderate stock and forend scuffs that affect about 20 percent of their area, with less affectation from spottiness on the bluing. We consider it to be Very Good, 85 percent or so, but the photos should suffice for interested parties to judge finish grade for themselves. This rifle is clean. The bore is Excellent. The locking lever has no detent ball, but it stays in place well enough with the action ring tightened. Own this fine little Chinese Browning copy for only $ 269.95

Sales policy: We accept MasterCard or Visa on a phone- or fax-in basis; and USPS Money Orders for immediate shipment. Personal checks, company checks, and in some instances Cashier’s Checks may involve a delay of no more than 8 business days for clearance. We offer a 7 day return privilege, but New In Box items and lay-aways excluded. We offer 90 day lay-away with 20 percent down, balance in 90 days; if a lay-away goes beyond its 90 day period, however, there will be a 6 percent per month charge on the unpaid balance only. We accept trade-ins at agreed-upon prices, delivered to us. We cannot be responsible for the freight on returns unless we have made some sort of glaring mistake.

Interstate Shipments of Firearms can go to Federally Licensed Dealers Only. Anyone who undertakes to purchase a firearm must first of all be eligible to own one under State and Federal Law. Disabilities from owning firearms include being under 21 for a handgun (or pistol grip rifle or shotgun) or under 18 for a long gun; conviction, indictment or information of a misdemeanor domestic violence or felony (it does not matter if the person served jail time or not, the conviction or information suffices); adjudication of a nervous disorder or disability; and non-citizenship in the United States. If anyone who is not eligible to own a firearm attempts to purchase one from us, we will assist law enforcement in that person’s prosecution. If anyone attempts to aid and abet the acquisition of a firearm from us for an ineligible person, we will assist in all involved parties’ prosecution. We have no intention of violating any laws. That is why we cannot ship some firearms and/or magazines to jurisdictions that include California, Maryland, New Jersey, and the New York City vicinity.

If an unlicensed individual wishes to purchase a firearm that we have advertised, he or she must do so legally through an FFL, a federally licensed dealer. Dealers normally charge transfer fees. In our experience, the most readily available transferors are Pawnbrokers and Gunsmiths. Please have transfer logistics worked out before contacting us for a purchase. Thanks for your interest. Law Enforcement officers may purchase a firearm through their department only if it will be used on duty, and Department Letters and paperwork from the Chief Law Enforcement Officer in the jurisdiction are required.

We do not receive firearms or purchase firearms from non-licensees through interstate shipments.

Shipping rates and information: We must have a signed copy of the purchaser’s Federal Firearms License in order to ship firearms interstate, and that licensee must check out with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as a current, bona fide licensee. BATFE has ruled that we can accept legible, signed faxes or scans. Individuals commonly use Licensees to act as transfer agents.

All handguns have to be shipped via expedited carrier, express or overnight delivery. We cannot mix shipments of hand guns with long guns; we can, however, ship more than one handgun or more than one long gun in most cases.

First handgun is $12.00, $6.00 each for add-ons in one order. Insurance is included.

First long gun is $25.00, $10.00 each for add-ons in one order to the lower 47 States. Insurance is included. $40 for First Long Gun to Alaska, California, or Hawaii.
