My first gun was a H&R 20 gauge single shot. I still have it. It was a great first gun. You learn to hit what you are aiming at when you only have one chance to get it right.

He had a tiny and larger insert for it and was his oh dear im lost in the middle of nowhere gun or if his river boat gave out way back in the tutchodi lakes area he could shoot 12 guage , 22, and 45 with it depending on the insert was a neat idea and great survival gun too.

On my survival shotgun I drilled the stock out to hold a rifled 10 inch long 9 mm adapter and 4- 9mm shells. Then added a side shell holder. Then put a 9mm magazine pouch on my sling to carry more 9mm shells in a pistol mag. Also left out one of the butt stock screws so the butt plate can swing to open for access to the barrel adapter. It's a small package. Almost forgot, there is a styker and small compass in the stock too!
When The SHTF, you won’t have your choice of what ammo you can find, wherever you can find it, so having multiple inserts for a gun like this is an awesome idea! Wish I had one!
Ted Williams played for the Boston Red Sox. Now it was said he was an avid hunter and he would shoot pigeons in Fenway Park. Now this was back in 1940s. Also Williams was the last player to hit over 400 in a season
That style of old Stevens, and Savage shotguns goes back to the 40's and 50's as far as I can remember. Cheap Sears mail order guns that worked well, and lasted as long as you cared for them.
Winchester make great shotguns. I have a mod. 1200 pump in 12 gauge I bought in Johannesburg RSA 50 years ago. It still shoots perfectly and looks new.

I picked up an H&R 20 gauge that was modified to take screw in Rem chokes. Great light gun that does not kick as hard as the 12. I have 22lr, 9mm and 357 adapters. The adapters will also fit my Stoeger 20 coach gun. Heavier but doubles give you 2 very fast shots. Both good choices for SHTF.

I owned one of these in the 1980s. Loaned it to a friend,,,he came back without it,,said he lost it...was a Steven's brand..from Britain...16 Guage.. full choke 32 inch barrel...
I learned on one of these when I was 6 years old...it taught me to wait, wait, wait, until the right moment and then fire...because you usually have only one chance...
In Fallout New Vegas, there is a break-action single-shot shotgun much like this. It's bottom tier and you replace it with an over-under double-barrel first chance you get, but personally I feel that tactically, in a situation where ammunition is scarce and ultimately limited unless you somehow get a source of powder, primers and whatnot, having something that encourages low-consumption is utmost.
Don't shoot lead slugs with the screw choke set on "Full"--it will expand the choke and mess it up. Always set the choke on "Open" bore setting. I know this because I messed up my shogun choke shooting slugs with it set on Full choke..
Yeah. H&R SINGLE, break open 12 gauge, with a 45 Colt insert. Shoots 3", 2 3/4" shotgun loads, and 45 Colt. Simple, reliable, and robust. I can take everything from rabbits, grouse and squirrel, to Blacktail Deer with it.
It would be interesting if this gun was incorporated into one of the many post apocalyptic survival games. It seems like it would be ideal in such a situation, if you could manage to not lose the different adapters.

When my wife took my old H&R single shot out deer hunting I told her she only needed one shot, make it count. She came back with a 12 point buck. I love my single shot so much that I sold my 12 gauge pump. It's just fun to break down (and eject the shell) reload and go again. So much more fun than a pump. I just got done restoring my old H&R, re-blued the barrel and refinished the stock and forearm with a red mahogany stain and a satin finish polyurethane, she looks great. I think I'll keep it another 40 years. Now I'm looking for more single shots to restore, but only 20 gauges and 410's, I've had enough 12 gauges. a 20 will do all I want to do.

I have one for my s/shot 410 that holds my 38 Specials. about 25 years ago I got real luck and bought a .223 barrel for my H&R single shot. Both are great barrels, adapter, and complete my armory. Don’t need a dozen guns of a dozen calibers, to have to hunt for a dozen ammos.
Yep I have collected so far .22LR .22Mag .38Spec. 9mm .45Colt .410 ga. 20 ga. and the muzzle loader adapter as well as the normal 12 ga. so not bad being able to shoot 9 different calibers from one gun really makes it the MOST versatile gun in the world and I wouldn't trade my H&R Topper Model 58 12 ga. single shot shotgun for nothing !!!!
@@jeffreyelliott622 if u think about it... It’s almost a ghost gun. I mean u could kill someone shooting say 45 colt for ex and then get get rid of the adapter. Then ur just a guy with a shotgun 😉

Good call Jason! The ammo saving, versatile, hole blastin’ single shot. I grew up in Boston (before getting the hell out of there and movin’ up north) and my first firearm of any sort, was a Stevens single shot 12ga. You can back up over it with a tank and it’ll still run. No school, like the old school! Oohra Big Daddy 😁👍🏽🇺🇸
Ted Williams--World War II pilot--props, Went back to the Boston Red Sox afterward, left to fly jets in Korea. So, he missed six years of MLB. Last man to hit .400 batting average at the end of a season. Last at bat was a homer. He was left handed and his head is cryogenically frozen according to his family. Both my grandfathers and my father saw him play many times at Tiger Stadium in Detroit. Probably in the discussion of the best man to ever play in MLB history.
What is fascinating to me is that he said clearly and unambiguously that this 1970's era single shot shotgun is "all you need, it'll take down anything in America". So, you don't "need" anything else, a single shot 12-gauge is the deal! Great point thanks for that out there forever and always.
My first long gun was a Savage 24C. It was an over-under with a 20guage bottom barrel and a 22LR top barrel. It came apart easily into two pieces, the longest only 24inches; short enough to fit in a backpack. I loved that gun. A few years later I came across a used slightly rusted Savage 24V at a yardsale for $20. It was .357 magnum over 20gauge. From Shotgun News I bought a couple of barrel sleeves, one short one chambered for .45Long, the other 20 inches long for 30-06. That one had a tiny removable chamber bushing that converted the 30-06 to 7.62 Nato. With those 2 rifles I could fire all the 22 ammo, and .38, .357, 45ACP, 45Long, 30-06 and 7.62 Nato, as well as all the 20gauge shotgun rounds. I had a Colt Mk IV Government Model and an HK 91 for self defense. These days, I don't own any guns.
For a survival gun I would do a Kel-Tec PMR-30 and CMR-30 combo. The PMR-30 is a pistol with 30 round magazines that fire 22 magnum. Get the factory 5" barrel wit h the flame suppressor as the gun tends to make large fireballs otherwise. The CMR-30 uses the same magazines and ammo, but is a carbine with a 16" barrel and extendable stock making it very compact. You can add a cheap 22lr scope on it and do 3" groupings at 100 yards. The reason why I say it is good for survival is because they are so light. If you need to walk 30 miles with a pack of survival gear, weight is everything. You can do both guns with the 4 mags the come with loaded (2 each) and a box of 500 rounds of 40 grain hollow points for a total of 10 pounds. And trust me a good shot with a 22 magnum is going to drop a deer or hog or anything smaller without too much trouble. You might have to be more accurate, but in a survival situation you are hunting anything you see pretty much. 640 rounds of ammo will last a long time too. That gun just takes too long to reload, is too heavy (especially with the adaptors), the ammo is heavier, it does not have that good a range... not the best for survival.
Sears Ted Williams shotgun. Neat. Ted was a baseball star, also served in the Marines in WW II, flew Corsair airplane. Also flew Panther Jet in Korea. Can you imagine a star player going in the service now? Love the videos you two make. Good shooting. Look forward to others.
Pat Tillman - one of the many American patriots who chose freedom over finances! Sadly, most athletes chose comfort and cash while some athletes even flaunt their success and disrespect the country that gave them everything they have!
Another good survival rifle would be something like the Rossi Trifecta, it's a break-action, which means it's stupid-proof, any issues can probably be fixed with minimal shop tools. Interchangeable barrel means you can shoot 20 gauge for defense, .22lr for varmint, and .243 winchester which is the jack of all trades caliber for the gun
My first gun. I have the 20 gauge New England Firearms version with a 38 special/357 magnum adapter. It’s from 1996 and was a gift for my 18th birthday in 1998. Unbelievably simple and reliable. So few moving parts. Less is more when we’re faced with the apocalypse.🙃
@@briangleason5597 Had it for 23 years now. It’s not going anywhere. Gonna oil it tonight. Doing some ammo inventory and gun cleaning over the next three nights, so I’ll give all of them some love
I have an NEF .410 ( 36 gauge ) and wished I had gotten an .243 barrel to go with that 36 gauge or a more common gauge like 12 or 20 . Although I do shoot slugs out of the 36 and might be hunting with it in the near future .
I traded for an old (50's?) 12 gauge Topper model H&R. Chopped the barrel to just over legal limit and fitted a new bead. You could pick up an old single from a gun shop for cheap. Ammo adapters aren't cheap but a few in common calibers would come in handy.
One of the wisest things a person can do is to learn how to handload. People that think they know how to shoot but do not handload are almost as incompetent as those that think they know how to drive but prefer an automatic transmission and don't know what to do in the event of an emergency. I learned how to control a vehicle on a motorcycle, which I believe is the best way.
Great way to conserve ammo too, you shoot that gold up much slower than with a semi auto and theirs just something fun about a single shot that no other gun has.
Sometimes single shots will throw a better pattern than semi`s or pumps. I had an H&R 12 gauge that would put 6-8 pellets in a squirrel at distance every time.
You have the right idea, a Gauge with SAAMI inserts. Saves the trouble or need to buy more guns just to try calibers. So if you just want to fire whatever for kicks and giggles get the insert, if someone makes an insert for the caliber WITHOUT the need to custom order it. 😉
Nice scooter. Can't beat a break action shotgun for simplicity, versatility and reliability. Always thought those inserts were clever, but have never seen them for sale anywhere.
Before Ted Williams, Sears called their sports equipment J.C. Higgins. They even made handguns with that name on them. While I never got into shotguns, I do like the break action rifles. When they were still available I obtained a H&R Handi Rifle and 4 extra accessory barrels. So now I have bull barrels for .223 and .308 and standard barrels for .22 Hornet, .30-30 and .44 Magnum. To make them more versatile, I have single action revolvers in the three calibers that have standard barrels. The only problem is that handguns in .22 Hornet and .30-30 are only available as the expensive BRFs. But it's great to get things while you still can. I also have a couple of other H&R break actions: a .22 RF and a .58 caliber muzzle loader. I sure miss that company.
Very cool! Love the old singles, especially Stevens. I'll have to see if I can find one in 20 gauge. (My shoulder doesn't like 12 any more; avascular necrosis.) Got a little 410 double that would be fun to have those adapters for.
I had a old stevens over and under chambered for the 234 and 3 inch and 22 sl and lr. My buddy a gunsmith figures was 40s or 50s era . The barrel had enough meat that he bored it out to accept 22 mag which my bud makes little 22 mag snake rounds for me too . My granpa said he had a factory one years ago and that same 2 rounds fed their family in some awfully lean years. He said he shot 2 deer with it and as the 22 mag was subsonic often the deer would flick its hide ...maybe lift his head and look around then resume eating. They would bring a few rolled smokes and have a smoke after the shot and usually the deer would just lie down and theyd share another and that would be it . Having been lung shot they bled out never knowing they were shot and likely werent even suffereing all that much as they seemed really quite calm. His was not able to take the full 3 inch shot/slugs in 410 but the smaller it did and again he took a deer or two with those as well. One can surmise that the nearly half inch chunk of metal from the 410 isnt much to sniff at so to me this makes this tiny ultra light and fairly short over under the ultimate all round gun and although mine aint pretty and is showing its age its acurate and i cant recal a year it hasnt surprised me . Id reach for the stevens if all hell cut loose and id have to pack something and provide or defend. Also in a house to house the 410 is awesome as you kill the bad guy/s not the badguys, your 2 kids, the neighboor , etc. Awesome home defence weapon compared to defender everyone thinks is best ..ill take the stevens again.
I carry a 410 for survival purposes, the moment it dawned on me that 100 shells of 12 gauge or 20 gauge = 10 pounds. I can carry 250 rounds of 410 for the same weight. One can send off for a few adapters for the 410(such as 9mm), but not as many as one can for a 12 or a 20. Trade offs....
The backstory and basic design (apart from the adapters) reminds me of the .410 Bridge Gun Company Green Bug "store gun" that's been in my family since my father acquired it in the 1930s. My older brother regularly used it for rabbit hunting in the 50s & 60s. It passed into my hands a few years back, and is still in good condition, despite its age. I havn't hunted in years, but it's fun at the local shotgun range. Having seen this video, I'm now slightly envious and wishing it was of a larger, adapter-capable caliber.
Sears used to sell "Good - Better -Best" grades and the "Best" were the "name" guns. I collect "J.C. Higgins" - predecessor to "Ted Williams" and while Ted Williams was a famous ball player, I understand that Mr. Higgins was a Sears employee whose name the marketing department liked and adopted - all great guns and definitely undervalued for the quality.
@just killin' time My grandfather had an Ivor Johnson single barrel shotgun, then my late father used it till it broke about about 25 years ago. Unfortunately it was scrapped then.
You got to like Sears made I'm glad I found your big daddy you are my kind of people and I really like it when the kid said, smell that, that's the smell of freedom!!
410 .22 over n under was but one of the "perfect" survival guns. Just my opinion. I'm sure there are many many other suggestions. Thanks for the video.

Reminds me of my apocalypse gun. Picked up a $99 single shot from Walmart, cut the barrel down, and added the chamber adapters. Lot of fun to shoot.
Hatsan?
Ragnar Ragnarsson 12Ga Hatfield break open single shot. I’m not sure if they carry it anymore though.
@@chris15252 yup wished I would have gotten one when they were there but always had my eye on something else ☺️. Definitely can't go wrong for less than a Benjamin.
Cut the barrel down sounds illegal but who cares bet it’s fun

Finally, a video on my shotgun, and set up exactly as I did myself.
I have one for my s/shot 410 that holds my 38 Specials. about 25 years ago I got real luck and bought a .223 barrel for my H&R single shot. Both are great barrels, adapter, and complete my armory. Don’t need a dozen guns of a dozen calibers, to have to hunt for a dozen ammos.
My friends dad did this with an old metal flare gun yrs ago. So now it shoots flares, 410 shotgun shells and 22LR
and you can get that under age, flare gun and than a flair gun shotgun conversion kit
Круто
I've got one similar in .410. Often overlooked setup these days.
Saw a box of some bad ass .410 tho other day
my dad also has a similair one in 410. i think its like mid 50s - mid 60s.
Beautiful place, I liked the adapters of different calibers, congratulations for the great idea !!!
Big hug !!!
this is a beatiful gun! nice wood and metal, light design
Ok, I need one of those adapters for my double barrel. I looked them up, and they are in my budget.
Yep I have collected so far .22LR .22Mag .38Spec. 9mm .45Colt .410 ga. 20 ga. and the muzzle loader adapter as well as the normal 12 ga. so not bad being able to shoot 9 different calibers from one gun really makes it the MOST versatile gun in the world and I wouldn't trade my H&R Topper Model 58 12 ga. single shot shotgun for nothing !!!!
@@jeffreyelliott622 if u think about it... It’s almost a ghost gun. I mean u could kill someone shooting say 45 colt for ex and then get get rid of the adapter. Then ur just a guy with a shotgun 😉
@@yungchainsm0ker298 Yep I never thought about that just might have to keep that in mind !!!!
The adapter leaves four right handed groves on the slug so the boys in feds will be looking for a shotgun and come get you !
@@astragreen My sheriff declared the ATF illegitimate and doesn't care what you do so long as you don't shoot someone. Any attempt to get anyone here would result in dead agents, just like last time they tried pulling shit.
I drove home from Delaware to Maryland with my AK I just purchased strapped across my back on my 79 FLH With 18 inch Apes on it and I have never received that much respect on a bike before in my life 😂👍 it was pretty Nice
Outstanding weapon
Greetings from Brazil and Let's go, Brandon!!! 🤘
Good call Jason! The ammo saving, versatile, hole blastin’ single shot. I grew up in Boston (before getting the hell out of there and movin’ up north) and my first firearm of any sort, was a Stevens single shot 12ga. You can back up over it with a tank and it’ll still run. No school, like the old school! Oohra Big
Daddy 😁👍🏽🇺🇸
Well said!! It is hard to beat the quality and craftsmanship of older firearms, especially for the money.
Ted Williams--World War II pilot--props, Went back to the Boston Red Sox afterward, left to fly jets in Korea. So, he missed six years of MLB. Last man to hit .400 batting average at the end of a season. Last at bat was a homer. He was left handed and his head is cryogenically frozen according to his family. Both my grandfathers and my father saw him play many times at Tiger Stadium in Detroit. Probably in the discussion of the best man to ever play in MLB history.
Great video guys, glad to see ya’ll are back safe, God bless!!!! 🇺🇸
What is fascinating to me is that he said clearly and unambiguously that this 1970's era single shot shotgun is "all you need, it'll take down anything in America". So, you don't "need" anything else, a single shot 12-gauge is the deal! Great point thanks for that out there forever and always.
My first long gun was a Savage 24C. It was an over-under with a 20guage bottom barrel and a 22LR top barrel. It came apart easily into two pieces, the longest only 24inches; short enough to fit in a backpack. I loved that gun. A few years later I came across a used slightly rusted Savage 24V at a yardsale for $20. It was .357 magnum over 20gauge. From Shotgun News I bought a couple of barrel sleeves, one short one chambered for .45Long, the other 20 inches long for 30-06. That one had a tiny removable chamber bushing that converted the 30-06 to 7.62 Nato. With those 2 rifles I could fire all the 22 ammo, and .38, .357, 45ACP, 45Long, 30-06 and 7.62 Nato, as well as all the 20gauge shotgun rounds. I had a Colt Mk IV Government Model and an HK 91 for self defense. These days, I don't own any guns.
🙈
I had the same brilliant weapon a savage
For a survival gun I would do a Kel-Tec PMR-30 and CMR-30 combo. The PMR-30 is a pistol with 30 round magazines that fire 22 magnum. Get the factory 5" barrel wit h the flame suppressor as the gun tends to make large fireballs otherwise. The CMR-30 uses the same magazines and ammo, but is a carbine with a 16" barrel and extendable stock making it very compact. You can add a cheap 22lr scope on it and do 3" groupings at 100 yards. The reason why I say it is good for survival is because they are so light. If you need to walk 30 miles with a pack of survival gear, weight is everything. You can do both guns with the 4 mags the come with loaded (2 each) and a box of 500 rounds of 40 grain hollow points for a total of 10 pounds. And trust me a good shot with a 22 magnum is going to drop a deer or hog or anything smaller without too much trouble. You might have to be more accurate, but in a survival situation you are hunting anything you see pretty much. 640 rounds of ammo will last a long time too.
That gun just takes too long to reload, is too heavy (especially with the adaptors), the ammo is heavier, it does not have that good a range... not the best for survival.
Got my thumbs up for the facemask on the dummy! That was hilarious.
Big Daddy’s laugh makes me laugh. He’s a cool guy.👍🇨🇦
Thanks Tom
Sears Ted Williams shotgun. Neat. Ted was a baseball star, also served in the Marines in WW II, flew Corsair airplane. Also flew Panther Jet in Korea. Can you imagine a star player going in the service now? Love the videos you two make. Good shooting. Look forward to others.
Pat Tillman - one of the many American patriots who chose freedom over finances! Sadly, most athletes chose comfort and cash while some athletes even flaunt their success and disrespect the country that gave them everything they have!
Williams was a real life American hero.
Another good survival rifle would be something like the Rossi Trifecta,
it's a break-action, which means it's stupid-proof, any issues can probably be fixed with minimal shop tools.
Interchangeable barrel means you can shoot 20 gauge for defense, .22lr for varmint, and .243 winchester which is the jack of all trades caliber for the gun
i saw this gun and was like: "Fallout NewVegas"
So im not the only one
It does resemble the look of the caravan shotgun in FNV
The single shotgun in fnv is why they were thinking mate
Ain't that a kick in the head

one barrel shotgun:hi one handed soldier:I WILL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK
My first gun. I have the 20 gauge New England Firearms version with a 38 special/357 magnum adapter. It’s from 1996 and was a gift for my 18th birthday in 1998. Unbelievably simple and reliable. So few moving parts. Less is more when we’re faced with the apocalypse.🙃
Keep that gun. Don't ever sell it.
@@briangleason5597 Had it for 23 years now. It’s not going anywhere. Gonna oil it tonight. Doing some ammo inventory and gun cleaning over the next three nights, so I’ll give all of them some love
I have an NEF .410 ( 36 gauge ) and wished I had gotten an .243 barrel to go with that 36 gauge or a more common gauge like 12 or 20 . Although I do shoot slugs out of the 36 and might be hunting with it in the near future .
I have a 12ga/.303 O/U and an adapter that allows me to shoot a couple different .32 pistol cartridges out of the .303 bore. Lots of fun!
It definitely makes sense as a last ditch option with the adapter set.
Very nice thank you for showing it on you tube have a good night 🙂
Can I be friends with yall? What a couple of cool gentlemen!
I really like this shotgun
Get you one. Thanks Sir..
You guys are the best, greetings from Texas!
🤘🏼
I like that 9mm adapter
Damn....i want this gun....or one like it..during the apocalypse you're going to be scavenging ammo
I traded for an old (50's?) 12 gauge Topper model H&R. Chopped the barrel to just over legal limit and fitted a new bead. You could pick up an old single from a gun shop for cheap. Ammo adapters aren't cheap but a few in common calibers would come in handy.
@@slipdagger2350 there like 30 bucks
And a old 410 is like 50 bucks
One of the wisest things a person can do is to learn how to handload. People that think they know how to shoot but do not handload are almost as incompetent as those that think they know how to drive but prefer an automatic transmission and don't know what to do in the event of an emergency. I learned how to control a vehicle on a motorcycle, which I believe is the best way.
@@arrlmember "Owning a gun doesn't make you a shooter any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician"....Jeff Cooper. Wise words.
1st video, 🤣🤣🤣 these gentlemen crack me up, good times, 👍🏻 🤣 👏 👌
Great way to conserve ammo too, you shoot that gold up much slower than with a semi auto and theirs just something fun about a single shot that no other gun has.
Sometimes single shots will throw a better pattern than semi`s or pumps. I had an H&R 12 gauge that would put 6-8 pellets in a squirrel at distance every time.
@@gunfisher4661 did you eat em or were you getting rid of me for gardening purposes or something
You have the right idea, a Gauge with SAAMI inserts. Saves the trouble or need to buy more guns just to try calibers. So if you just want to fire whatever for kicks and giggles get the insert, if someone makes an insert for the caliber WITHOUT the need to custom order it. 😉
Nice scooter. Can't beat a break action shotgun for simplicity, versatility and reliability. Always thought those inserts were clever, but have never seen them for sale anywhere.
Really Enjoyed this. Very Interesting
Glad you enjoyed it.
They should put a pin w/a spring in that adapter to help you get the shell casing out.
My wife bought me a Ted Williams 12 gauge pump for Christmas in 1970. Best gun I ever owned
My uncle gave me that gun when I was 10.
1957.
@@user-db8lj6wt7z don’t think he knows how to reply to comments 😂

Beautiful backyard range, I appreciate the work put into it.

Hard to beat a good fully automatic single shot 12ga;-) Ahh the sound of freedom.
Lol
Before Ted Williams, Sears called their sports equipment J.C. Higgins. They even made handguns with that name on them.
While I never got into shotguns, I do like the break action rifles. When they were still available I obtained a H&R Handi Rifle and 4 extra accessory barrels. So now I have bull barrels for .223 and .308 and standard barrels for .22 Hornet, .30-30 and .44 Magnum. To make them more versatile, I have single action revolvers in the three calibers that have standard barrels. The only problem is that handguns in .22 Hornet and .30-30 are only available as the expensive BRFs. But it's great to get things while you still can. I also have a couple of other H&R break actions: a .22 RF and a .58 caliber muzzle loader. I sure miss that company.
The Zombies would be chomping on your brains by the time you reloaded this!! 😬😳🤣
Thats why you throw the gun at them and take another fully loaded one out
@@ZayP730 Hee hee!! 😂😂
that’s why you have a side piece either and woman or your pistol to shoot or throw at em 😂 jk btw
That would wake you up !
That's funny the ammo you're shooting cost more than the gun
At some point, it happens on all guns if you shoot enough.
Very cool! Love the old singles, especially Stevens. I'll have to see if I can find one in 20 gauge. (My shoulder doesn't like 12 any more; avascular necrosis.) Got a little 410 double that would be fun to have those adapters for.
I had a old stevens over and under chambered for the 234 and 3 inch and 22 sl and lr. My buddy a gunsmith figures was 40s or 50s era . The barrel had enough meat that he bored it out to accept 22 mag which my bud makes little 22 mag snake rounds for me too . My granpa said he had a factory one years ago and that same 2 rounds fed their family in some awfully lean years. He said he shot 2 deer with it and as the 22 mag was subsonic often the deer would flick its hide ...maybe lift his head and look around then resume eating. They would bring a few rolled smokes and have a smoke after the shot and usually the deer would just lie down and theyd share another and that would be it . Having been lung shot they bled out never knowing they were shot and likely werent even suffereing all that much as they seemed really quite calm. His was not able to take the full 3 inch shot/slugs in 410 but the smaller it did and again he took a deer or two with those as well. One can surmise that the nearly half inch chunk of metal from the 410 isnt much to sniff at so to me this makes this tiny ultra light and fairly short over under the ultimate all round gun and although mine aint pretty and is showing its age its acurate and i cant recal a year it hasnt surprised me . Id reach for the stevens if all hell cut loose and id have to pack something and provide or defend. Also in a house to house the 410 is awesome as you kill the bad guy/s not the badguys, your 2 kids, the neighboor , etc. Awesome home defence weapon compared to defender everyone thinks is best ..ill take the stevens again.
@@marcusmitton7135 Well said, Marcus; thanks for sharing that bit of reminiscence, too.
I carry a 410 for survival purposes, the moment it dawned on me that 100 shells of 12 gauge or 20 gauge = 10 pounds. I can carry 250 rounds of 410 for the same weight. One can send off for a few adapters for the 410(such as 9mm), but not as many as one can for a 12 or a 20. Trade offs....
The backstory and basic design (apart from the adapters) reminds me of the .410 Bridge Gun Company Green Bug "store gun" that's been in my family since my father acquired it in the 1930s. My older brother regularly used it for rabbit hunting in the 50s & 60s. It passed into my hands a few years back, and is still in good condition, despite its age. I havn't hunted in years, but it's fun at the local shotgun range. Having seen this video, I'm now slightly envious and wishing it was of a larger, adapter-capable caliber.
Sears used to sell "Good - Better -Best" grades and the "Best" were the "name" guns. I collect "J.C. Higgins" - predecessor to "Ted Williams" and while Ted Williams was a famous ball player, I understand that Mr. Higgins was a Sears employee whose name the marketing department liked and adopted - all great guns and definitely undervalued for the quality.
That’s great information! Thank you

Hi
410 .22 over n under was but one of the "perfect" survival guns.
Just my opinion. I'm sure there are many many other suggestions.
Thanks for the video.
You can still get the Pathfinder Series of adaptors - rifled💪
Except they're mostly sold out with Biden on the way in.
The best survival shotgun is the Savage Model 24. A shotgun and rifle in one and no inserts needed.
Yeah...nothing better then a single shot when you have a bunch of zombies running behind you..
Or maybe *walking* because the human body would be so inept at stumbling about or being remotely good at anything other than falling apart. Same reactions as a zombie deer I assume.
