Thanks
 The Remington next to the Winchester threw me a bit. I should've looked closer at the photo for the dogleg bolt and safety. And I couldn't figure out the Savage bolt gun for the life of me.I try to stay away from classic firearms and such these days because it's a rabbit hole that is WAY too easy for me to go down. I like and enjoy the modern gear as much as the next shooter but the older stuff holds a stronger draw.

Remington club here too usually. Hard to beat the price when they're on sale. I have boxes of husks with the idea that I'd reload someday but the math just didn't work.

Another name them challenge. These are all pre '40 shotguns... some WAY before!
Two views of the same lineup. Hope I didn't make it too easy Let's see how you do.

Top photo from left to right I think is a Winchester model 97, then possible an early Marlin, Browning Auto 5, Stevens 520/620 cant tell from the angle, Winchester model 12, Remington model 31?, and an Ithaca model 37.
Flip the Stevens 520/620 and the Winchester model 12 in the order...

You have the first two reversed but almost nailed them all. Nice.

Looking at the photo more I'm going to say the Stevens is the later 620 due to receiver shape.
The shotgun next to what I think is a Winchester model 97 "could" be a Winchester 93 but I'm just not as up on them as I once was.

It's funny that the Stevens is such an underdog to the other big 4 of the day. This is a 620, 16ga. These are of course a JM Browning design that got slightly tweeked as time went on. These are very nicely made guns in the 1930's. Love the takedown of this design, better than most.

The interesting thing is that there's 3 Browning designed guns in those photos.
The Auto 5 is easy but many people forget that he did a lot of design work that other makers bought. The 520/620 guns date from a similar era to the Auto 5. But the Model 37 Was originally designed for Remington as I believe the model 17. Ithaca took over the design once the protections had run out and Remington came out with the 31. My favorite general purpose upland gun is my solid rib 37 in 16 gauge.

very cool.
i dont actually know anything about old guns, but i think its really great that mechanical things lovingly made so long ago still function. they look to be in nice shape too. where did you acquire them? estate sale or something?

For myself, growing up in the Connecticut River Valley which was the gun making capital of the world, I've always been fascinated with the various mechanical designs of the the different gun makers. None can remotely compare with John Browning. My favorite era is the 20's and 30's. Just absolutely gorgeous stuff.

Nice collection. Typo on the first two. I knew the early Marlin had the band in front of the receiver.
You need to add a Remington model 10 or 29 to your collection. They are the bottom ejection models that morphed into the Ithaca.
