Riverside Arms SxS Shotgun – 12 Gauge – Side by Side – Vintage Wall Hanger

This is a no reserve penny auction for a Riverside Arms Side by Side shotgun in 12GA. Serial number- 94658. This shotgun is in poor condition and would make an excellent wall hanger! Just like Sears, Western Field and many other labels, Riverside Arms Co. was an economy label for original manufacturers. In this firearm’s case, for Stevens. The guns produced under the Riverside Arms Co. name were as functionally sound and capable as their more expensive, name-brand counterparts, but with less desirable wood, metal and finishes. For example, the stocks for most Riverside Arms Co firearms were either a cheap birch or beech nut wood with a simulated walnut finish. The wood-to-metal fit likely was not pristine either, but these were a utility firearm; meant to be used and likely abused.

Please note that the stock has multiple cracks around the wrist. The stock is also is loose and rust/pitting is present throughout the shotgun. We recommend this firearm be inspected by a gunsmith before use.
