Hi all been a while since I’ve posted but I’m getting the bp itch again so here we go. I will be picking up the guns in the picture below. I have tried to hide the contemporary ml in spirit of the site. I’m wondering if anyone can identify the gun on the bottom. The owner tells me it’s a navy arms shotgun, 12ga he thinks. I’ve tried searching and I can’t find anything. Looks like a brass receiver? I have not laid eyes on them yet.
Hope this is ok, thanks all!
Russ

The “ Morse” rifles I have seen very few of them. I’ve never seen one in 12 gauge!
 
This shotgun is pictured in the 1979 "GUNS ILLUSTRATED" with the following comments: Morse/Navy single barrel shotgun, 12 gauge, 26 " barrel, weight 5 pounds, length 41 1/2" overall, brass receiver, etc. Price then was $125 and was sold by Navy Arms

The gentleman says that the barrel of both the navy and Kentucky are in poor shape but could be brought back with some tlc. I’ll see about that but itll be worth a shot.
