tedicast Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 I have a 20 gauge/3 inch O/U that I bought from a friend about 10 years ago. It says Richland Arms Blissfiels MI. on one side of the barrel. AVM Brescia Italy, and CAL.20-3 on the other side of the barrel. It says made in Italy on the reciever. It has 26" barrel, and fixed chokes. Can't find anywhere on the gun what the chokes are. It has twin triggers. Does anyone know anything about this gun. I hunted with it some, but was more comfortable with me 20ga 870 Special Field. Just wondering if anyone could tell me when it was made, and maybe an approximate value. Here is a pic of the gun. Thanks in advance ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Re: O/U Question It is worth $100. The money is on its way It sure is pretty LOL. Seems weird the choke isn't on there somewhere. too_pointer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the lower barrel it says KGI.490, or KG1.490. i can't tell if its an "I", or a "1". It also says 16.0 after it. Not sure if those are some kind of choke numbers. I didn't pay much for this gun, so I'm not expecting it to be worth much. I was just wiping it down, and figured I would post about it.

hoyt19 Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Re: O/U Question Tedicast, Im going to try and send you some pictures of an o/u 20g I have here. All the info you have on yours is the same as mine, minus the "Richland Arms Blissfiels MI" My dad bought the gun sometime in the late 70's early 80's, and had a lot of work done to it but the barrells and the reciever on your gun look almost identical to what I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Re: O/U Question Don't know, but I'll bet AJ looks it up, and I'd bet the chokes are Improved and Modified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbonhunter Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Re: O/U Question Here is what i could find richland Arms was the importer of thses guns until 1986, i think the model you are looking at is a model 300, but cant be shure they imported guns from various manufacturers in spain and italy, They had five differant models of O/U ranging in value from $265-$435. If you are looking for the choke size go to the local gun smith. They can give you those numbers with a guage easy enough. Sorry i cant help more...If you go to The blue book site you can down load manuels for the guns in PFD format but it will cost ya ten bucks.

AJ Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Re: O/U Question I looked in my book but there was no Richland gun that matched yours. As for the choke, I have no idea. A bore gauge is the best way to tell and your local gunsmith or possibly the shooting range guru can help you with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
