Scarce Factory Engraved Young Repeating Arms Single Barrel Slide Action Trap Shotgun

The Young Repeating Shotgun was invented by Charles "Sparrow" Young, a ranking trap shooter of the era and manufactured from 1902 to 1904 in very limited numbers. Features floral scroll engraving with "PAT'D JUNE 18, 1901/1061/SEPT. 16, 1902" on the underside. Single brass bead sight, 3 inch chamber and improved modified choke. The forearm and stock are checkered with a rubber recoil pad. The stock measurements are: drop at comb 1 1/4 inch; drop at heel 2 1/2 inch; length of pull 13 7/8 inches.

ConditionVery fine. The professionally restored barrels have 99% blue finish with a few light handling marks, and a faint trace of mild pitting under the blue on the rib. The receiver has a mottled silver gray patina with handling marks, crisp engraving, and traces of cleaned light spotting. The freshened wood is very fine with sharp checkering, light handling marks, and rich color. Mechanically excellent. A very scarce and unique, early innovation in repeating trap shotguns.
