Anyone ever hear of Pachmayr making a shotgun? My step-dad purchased a double barrel and the only markings on it are Pachmayr Weapons INC Los Angeles Calif and a few numbers. I haven't seen it yet but looking to find some info before I head up there tomorrow, can't find anything online. Ill post some pictures when I see it.

 

Thanks

Pachmayr Gun Works in CA did custom work on a variety of firearms, but never made a shotgun. Google gunsmith Frank Pachmayr or Pachmayr Gun Works and you'll find tons of info. He did high-end custom work on all manner of guns, including fine doubles. A Pachmayr pistol case is something every bullseye shooter carried to the firing line. My guess is the recoil pad probably reads "Pachmayr."

You're right it's a pachmayr recoil pad. Looks like the shotgun is a remington 1882. Serial number puts production somewhere around 1884. Unfortunately the stock and trigger guard area of the receiver are cracked. I'll try to get a pic up later.
