In 1990, Savage Arms discontinued the manufacture of all firearms (rifles and shotguns) bearing the Stevens trademark. Stevens Arms Co." designation was dropped in the late 1940s, and only the name "Stevens" was used up to 1990. In 1920, New England Westinghouse was sold to the Savage Arms Corp. New England Westinghouse manufactured both Browning machine guns and Moisin-Nagant (Russian Military) Rifles. In 1916, the company name was changed to New England Westinghouse.

It has a fore stock and the numbers 5 then a smaller 4 and then 984 appear in front of the fore stock. It has a high cheek rest and has curved nickel plated but plate. The front sight is a rounded blade, and the rear is a V notch blade. This rifle has a octagonal barrel 22 1/2 inches long. There is not much collector interest in this shotgun and values for examples in excellent condition usually fall in the $175.00 or less range. Sportsman Shotguns usually came with a plain, solid rib or vent rib 26 inch barrel, but skeet and riot configurations were also available. Remington manufactured the Sportsman shotgun form 1931 to 1949 in 12, 16 and 20 Gauge. Has duck in flight engraved left side has pheasant engraved right side trying to find approximate age and value. My advise would be to take good care of your Ruger but go ahead and keep using it. I have heard that 200th year Rugers that are unfired and in the original box will bring a premium, but I have even started to doubt that. While I can't deny that I have tried to sell Rugers with this stamping for a premium in the past, I can't think of a time when I was ever able to pull it off. Rich, all Ruger firearms that were manufactured in 1976 have "Made in the 200th Year of American Liberty" stamped on their barrels. "Made in the 200th year of American liberty" Should I continue to shoot this gun? Will it be collectable? (because of the barrel marking) It's a great gopher gun but I don't want to ruin it if it is collectable.
National Ordnance 1903A3 receivers were made in Yugoslavia and/or Spain during the late 50's and mid 60's, then the rifles were assembled with surplus GI parts. Are there reliability problems or other shortfalls compared to higher priced Remington 1903s of the same era? thank you Darrenĭarren, the reason that National Ordnance 1903A3's are cheaper is because they are not US government issue rifles.
