16/28"/F&IC. Has had forcing cones extended and bores bear a high polish. Gun was reportedly being set up for sporting clays. Barrel exterior is 100%, cc is 85%, wood and checkering are excellent. The gun reflects very little use. All original, excluding forcing cone and interior polish work.

Bob,
I noticed Ivory Beads has a Fulton for $16xx. These hardwarestore guns are being found out.

Hunter Arms made the Fulton, 1915, Fulton Special, 1916, and Hunter Special, 1937. The Hunter Special had a retail price of $30.00 then, the Fulton was $18 in 1915, and the Fulton Special was $25 in 1916.
The Fulton was also a Hunter success for many thousands were sold through Sears, Roebuck and Company and general hardware stores.
During the 30's you could get a Non-Selective Trigger, Beavertail forend, iron sights, and a recoil pad. In 1945, the end of Hunter Arms due to backruptcy, the Fulton was $75. Total of 55,474 Fulton and Hunter guns made.

If you go to this web site, you will see a Hunter Arms Gladiator, I think it is a Diamond Grade, only made 66 of these. very nice looking gun and very resonable. Hunter Arms made these for Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1917-1919. Made a total of 539 Gladiators, of which 174 were hammer guns.

If it the Hunter Special, with the rotary bolt, I would say it's worth about $600-$650, but dear old Klunk said I was always low.. I sold one about a year ago for $500, just about a 90%, unaltered gun.. MDC

Seems like there's been a considerable boon to the value of these guns lately.

Not just the Hunters, look at the Nitro Special and even the Stevens Prices.. MDC
