I recently picked up a shotgun from my mom's place that she didn't want around. It's a Savage Arms Westpoint Model 949 16GA break-action single-barrel shotgun. I can find absolutely nothing about this gun online, and know little to nothing of guns in general. I went today to see about getting some cleaning supplies and see what kinds of ammo were out there and ended up leaving with an inherent need to do more research.

Can anyone share any info on this gun? I don't know a thing other than what's stamped into the side and can't really even find a place to start. I thought about contacting Savage Arms but since the website has no e-mail due to no time to respond I wanted to try here first. Any information I can get would be most appreciated!

Thanks,

Nick D
