What’s Included
- Hunter Arms Company The Fulton .410 bore side-by-side shotgun
This example is the base-grade Hunter Arms Fulton boxlock (not the Fulton Special), correctly marked with rib legends reading "THE FULTON" and "HUNTER ARMS CO. INC. M’F’R’S FULTON, N.Y., U.S.A." It was manufactured circa 1938 in the USA. An F-prefix serial is present on the receiver, with matching numbers on the forend iron and barrel flats.
The shotgun is chambered in .410 Bore with 3 inch chambering and a 2-shot capacity. It wears 26 inch blued barrels, and both bores are Cylinder (CYL), a straightforward, close-range configuration well-suited to the .410.
A matted solid rib runs the length of the barrels and is topped by a single brass front bead for a clean, traditional sight picture. The break-action layout uses internal hammers, double triggers, and a tang safety for familiar, reliable operation.
The receiver retains a casehardened finish, complementing the blued barrels. Furniture includes a checkered walnut pistol-grip buttstock and a matching splinter forend. Length of pull measures 13.75 inches.
