Old Mercury Magnum model 34 10-gauge single shot

[General Geoff]

Came across this at a yard sale, couldn't resist for $35. Single barrel, break action. Seller said it doesn't work, but the only thing I can find wrong with it is the safety switch is missing. Firing pin pops out of its hole upon trigger break. Action and barrel look to be in excellent shape, with a tight, positive lockup. Anyone have any info on this guy?




Sorry that's the only non blurry image I have right now, will update with more pics.

From Numrich "Mercury produced the 10-12 and 20 guage Double barrel's 28" to 32" barrels originated in 1970 and discontinued in 1989"

A few years back I picked up a nice little .410 single break barrel. It would not fire, only dimpled the primer.
Close inspection showed someone had filed on the firing pin. Ordered a new pin and spring from Numrich for around $5.00.,.. great little crow and squirrel gun now

Awesome, thanks for the info!
