What's Included
- Springfield Arms Company 12 gauge side-by-side shotgun
The 30 inch steel barrels use a solid, non-ventilated matted rib topped with a brass bead, offering a classic sighting arrangement. The barrels are marked "PROOF TESTED 12 G," aligning with the 12 gauge chambering.
The action is a break-open side-by-side with internal hammers and double triggers, providing independent control of each barrel. It uses an extractor-only system (no automatic ejectors) and a top-lever opening mechanism.
Controls include a top-tang sliding manual safety. The gun carries the left-side receiver rollmark "SPRINGFIELD ARMS COMPANY CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS. U.S.A.," confirming its U.S. manufacture.
The hardwood stock has a pistol-grip profile with an uncheckered finish and a hard rubber buttplate. A hardwood splinter forend (snap-on, no external latch) completes the classic configuration. Length of pull measures 14.0 inches, and capacity is 2 rounds.
Assembly markings with a T prefix are present and matching on the barrel lug, watertable/action flats, and inside the forend, supporting component originality.
