The Springfield-Savage Arms Model 67E 12 Gauge shotgun is a remarkable piece of American firearm history. Born from the union of two iconic American firearm manufacturers in 1920, this shotgun represents a harmonious marriage of dependable craftsmanship and sturdy design. Manufactured in 1967, the Model 67E is a pump-action shotgun well-known for its simplicity and steadfast reliability.
While the shotgun is in fair condition, showing signs of extensive prior use and handling, the charm and history it carries more than makes up for its cosmetic flaws. The receiver and barrel show moderate wear and the original butt plate is missing a piece, however, this doesn't hinder the functionality of the weapon. To compensate for the missing piece, a green synthetic butt plate cover is included in the sale.
The 12-gauge caliber of the Model 67E makes it a potent tool in both defensive and hunting situations. The shotgun is equipped with a clean, well-maintained bore with minor wear marks and good rifling, ensuring consistent accuracy. The 4+1 round capacity provides ample firepower for any situation. The blued finish, while showing signs of wear, still provides good resistance against corrosion. The smooth walnut stock and ribbed pump grip provide a comfortable and firm hold for the user, while the metallic beaded front sight ensures clear aim.
This shotgun is more than just a firearm, it's a piece of Americana, a tangible piece of the rich history of Springfield-Savage Arms. Whether you're a collector, a hunter, or a firearms enthusiast, the Model 67E is a reliable and historic piece that deserves a spot in your collection.
