Savage Arms Corp – The Savage .300 Rifle

You can click on the photo above for a much larger view.

IT IS SAVAGE, with all the ballistics of the .30 Government 150 grain bullet—2, 700 foot velocity striking force 2,426 lbs. mid range trajectory 200 yards, 2.9 in.- and the preeminent Savage advantage of a soft nose Spitter bullet, handled in our action, without deforming the point.

And Listen! The Savage Feather weight models handle this cartridge. A 6 1/2 lb. gun that makes possibles at 1,000 yards, with a recoil so light that it makes target practice a delight and a hunting trip a pleasure.

You can pack this gun on the longest trail, stop in their tracks the Grizzlies of the Rockies, or the Man Eaters of the African Wilds, and not be muscle tired when you must place the bullet in the right spot.

Mossberg Model 183 D-B Shotgun

Mossberg Shotgun HistoryNot really a ”weapon of war” – But still a cool piece of paper I had kicking around… You can click on the photo for a larger view.  The text from the back of the paper is below.  

General Instructions – Mossberg Model 188D-B 

.410 GAUGE BOLT ACTION SHOTGUNS

1. To Assemble Gun

Fit barrel and stock together with magazine and trigger fitting in corresponding holes in stock. Tighten take-down screw in bottom of stock securely.

2. TO LOAD

Open action by raising bolt handle and pulling bolt back as far as it will go. Insert 3 shells, one by one, as shown in sketch. Note from sketch that the head of each shell is placed slightly in front of the shell beneath it.   Push bolt forward and push handle down to locked position. The gun is now ready to fire.

3. SAFETY

When the thumb safety at rear end of receiver points to red button F in stock it means DANGER, as the trigger can be pulled and the gun FIRED.  When safely points to green button S the trigger cannot be pulled, therefore it is on SAFE.

4.  TO EJECT FIRED SHELL and LOAD NEW ONE

Unlock and pull bolt back as far as it will go. This ejects the old shell an cocks the gun. Then push bolt forward and push handle down to locked pc sition. Gun is ready to fire again.

5. AMMUNITION

Use any standard factory loaded 2 l/2” or 3″ .410 gauge shells;

6. TO CHANGE CHOKE TUBES

The Model 183D(a) is supplied with 2 interchangeable choke tubes; full and modified. To remove choke tube use the spanner wrench and turn the tube to the right. When replacing the choke tube tighten it with the spanner wrench.

7. TO REMOVE THE BOLT

Raise the bolt handle and pull the bolt back..as far as it will go, then pull back on the trigger and the bolt will slide out.

8. TO REPLACE BOLT

The gun has a two piece bolt. BE SURE to line up the marks on the bolt an bolt head before inserting the bolt, then insert bolt holding back on the trigge with one hand and pushing forward on the bolt with the other. NEVER force the bolt into the action, for if lined up correctly bolt will slide in easily.
