Hello everyone I'm new to the forums

My Dad gave me a rifle and I took one unimpressed look at it and thought ok a little 22 for his daughter, cute.

So I move to Arkansas and start buying as much ammo for my guns as possible, since my former native State of California was so anti-gun it was getting ridiculous.

I'm up to my ears in 22 LR and decide to pull out Dads gift and clean it up, well to my surprise its not a 22.
Its a Sears .410 101-1120 ... blink...blink

Ive got an Kel-tec P-11 9mm for CCW, Mossberg 500 Cruiser shotgun
and an Smith and Wesson Model 10 38 cal.

I dont have any 410 shells and I now realize I don't own a 22.

Now Im looking at this Relic .410 sideways wondering if its even safe to fire, and have a excuse to buy a Henry lever action 22 model.

Does anyone know the brand name of this Sears weapon? Am I safe to assume its a Savage?

Although the model number you give isn't listed, most likely your shotgun was made by Savage. The list I researched is not all inclusive but the numbers you have fall within the range of Savage numbers listed.
Sears guns were manufactured by Savage, Marlin, Sevens, and Winchester to name a few.
I'd have it checked out by a gunsmith prior to shooting it. Better to be safe than sorry.

BTW, welcome to the forum.

Thank you for the welcome and reply.

Better safe than sorry, off to check for gun smiths in my area.

Welcome to G&G stockpile. You might want to save all of that .22 ammo and pick up a Ruger 10-22 rimfire rife or the new Marlin .22. They are great for target practice and plinking. If that .410 is a family heirloom by any chance, you might want to hold onto it. I don't know your present family demographics, but if you have a son, or daughter now or in the future, who would like to get into shooting one day, a .410 and a .22 might be the way to go. Our 11 year old son is in the Boy Scouts and he can handle almost anything out there. He started shooting as a Cub Scout at the age of 7. The guns they used were .22s and .410s.

Yes, Im going to get in high gear and pick something else up.

Thanks for the welcome.

It's a Savage model 51, single shot, bolt action, 410.

A good little .410 - I have the Stevens version. I too thought it was a .22 rifle when I pulled it off the pawnshop shelf! The barrel seemed a tad thick, then I womdered why the bead front sight on a .22 rifle..? Then I finally noticed the BIG ejection port!
I bought it and refinished it to match my little Stevens Model 15 single-shot .22LR rifle - makes a nice 'matched pair'!

Big 5 has the above in 7mm rem mag only. Its MSRP is $519 has a combo rifle with a scope and of course the scope is not first rate. I was wondering if its a good deal has compared to other rifles in its price and class such has the Mossberg ATR
