The Essex Arms No Model 12 Gauge is a classic American side-by-side shotgun that reflects the craftsmanship and practicality of early sporting firearms. Featuring 29-inch barrels, a traditional break-action design, and a two-round capacity, it offers the timeless handling characteristics favored by upland hunters and collectors alike.
Originally sold under the Essex trade name by hardware retailers, these shotguns were manufactured by respected American makers and were built to provide reliable performance in the field. The long barrels and fixed chokes make them well suited for hunting birds, rabbits, and other small game.
Today, Essex side-by-side shotguns are appreciated for their vintage styling, simple mechanical design, and connection to America's sporting heritage. As with any older double-barrel shotgun, chamber length and barrel condition should be verified by a qualified gunsmith before firing modern ammunition, particularly if the shotgun's manufacturing date is unknown.

Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction. And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process. We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it. We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store. And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process. We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.
Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community. Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state. At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible. That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.
Most everything can be easily bought online these days. But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated. Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want. Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice. Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
GForce Jawbone 9mm PCC Review: Affordable, Reliable, & Runs on Glock Mags
