Introducing the Eastern Arms Company Model 94A, a single shot shotgun steeped in tradition and reliability. A staple of American firearm history, this 16-gauge, break-action shotgun provides simplistic handling and maintenance making it a perfect choice for purist firearms enthusiasts.
The overall condition of this shotgun is fair, showing extensive signs of prior use and handling. However, the bore is in good condition, with clean, well-maintained interior and minor wear marks. The sale includes the gun itself, boasting a 28" barrel length with a blued finish, a smooth wood stock with a black buttplate, and a front bead sight. Note that the stock has two cracks where it meets the receiver, and the finish shows signs of heavy wear. Despite these signs of use, the action and trigger assembly remain in functional condition, ensuring reliable operation.
The Model 94A is a product from the early 20th century, when Sears Roebuck used the trade name Eastern Arms Company for shotguns sourced from various manufacturers like Meriden Firearms, Iver Johnson, and J. Stevens Arms. The charm of the blued finish not only enhances the antique touch but also serves a practical purpose by providing additional corrosion resistance.
With a fixed cylinder bore and a 2 3/4" chamber, this shotgun is designed for accuracy and reliability. The single-shot capacity is a testament to the era of its production, reflecting a focus on accuracy rather than rapid fire. The 14" length of pull and smoothbore barrel features contribute to its comfortable handling and shooting experience. Born and bred in the United States, the Eastern Arms Company Model 94A is not just a gun, but a piece of history.
