The item for sale is in good overall condition, bearing signs of prior use and handling. Notably, there is minor handling wear visible, including superficial scratches on the barrel and wood stock, and minor finish loss on both barrels. The right barrel near the muzzle appears dented from previous use. The left firing pin is broken and will require replacement, thus the gun is being sold AS-IS. Despite these signs of wear, the bore remains in excellent condition, with a clean, mirror finish and no apparent signs of wear.
What sets this model apart is its unique sawed-off design. Technically a sawed-off shotgun, this firearm retains a legal, non-NFA barrel length of 20", making it a compact and powerful choice for those seeking a versatile weapon. Its 2-round capacity and side-by-side action hark back to traditional “coach gun” designs, popular during the Old West era in the United States. This feature enhances the user's speed and efficiency by offering quick firing access to both chambers.
Finished in blued steel and sporting a glossy walnut 2-piece pistol grip stock with a beavertail forend, this firearm exudes a classic charm that will appeal to collectors and enthusiasts alike. Its front fixed brass bead sight and solid rib barrel features add to its overall aesthetic and functional appeal. In addition, the shotgun's chokes are both fixed, full, and modified (MOD), lending further to its versatility.
While it makes an excellent self-defense option, the Rossi Overland Sawed-Off is more than just a weapon. It's a piece of firearm history, a unique and good-looking piece that will enhance any collection. Don't miss the chance to own a piece of this history with the Rossi Overland Sawed-Off 12 Gauge.
