Al OVERA, SASS#26238 Life Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 found a Stevens 22/410 with a hammer is it legal for my daughter to shoot CAS? I, personally, see no difference between this and an H&R .410, which is legal. Gotta keep'em interested. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacker, SASS #55963 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 If you are takling about the gun I think you are talking about; And iff you are talking about it being used as a rifle; no, it does not have a tubular magazine. I would bet against it being legal for shotgun as well. As it does have that rifle barrel thingy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adirondack Jack, SASS #53440 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I don't honestly know if this is a settled question or not. It surely is not legal as a rifle, but as a shotgun for a kid, it's a .410, and I suspect that extra bit of pipe might be ignored. Sounds like a good question for PWB.

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Trigger Mike, If that .410 is what your daughter can shoot, then bring her on up to Cherokee. I'll let her use it. Badlands Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Bob Since I can't find any other 410 single shot, this is all can I can find, but I have not bought it yet. I also wonder if 325 is too much. She has a lever 22 and pistols just not a shotgun. Cherokee is where she would be shooting anyway, since it is my home range. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peso Bill SR 54015 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Hey pard, I was just checking Guns america and found several .410 for around 125 bucks to 150, you might want to check that out before buying the one you were looking at for your daughter, just a thought :.) lots of luck pard!

Captain Woodrow Cahill, SASS # 54363 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Howdy Mike! I don't see where there'd be any problem with her using it. It's period correct, as it's what's called a "drilling". They've been around a long time. As to the price, $325 is pretty reasonable for a Stevens Model 24. I've seen them sell for $500 to $600.

Goody, SASS #26190 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I would let her shoot it. But around here in the pawn shops H&R .410's go for 65-100. Have you checked the pawn shops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I would say no, but I wouldn't disallow it at a local. NEF single shot .410's are $119 at the local toy store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry T Harrison Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Somewhere along the line the idea that a .410 was a great gun to start a young shooter evolved, in actuality it’s a horrible caliber for a child to learn to shoot with. The .410 is an experts gun and is not for beginners. Many kids quickly get frustrated by the number of misses that they have with the little gun at least in the hunting fields and trap and skeet ranges. Ammo is also stupidly expensive. You might be much better off to buy her a youth model 20ga and feed it featherlite loads which have pretty negligible recoil, that way by changing the butt stock she can continue to use the gun as she gets older and will have a much higher hit percentage and be a much happier shooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge'm All Duncan, SASS#67320 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Mike, PM me. I have niece that is 8 and is shooting with us. She is tall, thin and recoil sesitive but she shoots a 12ga. H&R Pardner with loads her dad worked up and they don't bother her a bit.

pfouts Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I worked up a 12 gauge load for my youngest when he started. Basically no recoil at all most targets go down with it. He used my double barrel with no mods. He doesn't like recoil either. PM me if you want the load I worked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Better a 12 than a 20. Much better selection of ammo and components and generally at a much better price. Love my 20 ga hunters but shoot a 12 for CAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
