This video showcases a rare Winchester Model 61 smoothbore rimfire shotgun, a unique variant of the classic .22 pump-action rifle. Brownells Gun Techs Steve Ostrem and Keith Ford discuss its historical context, referring to such firearms as "garden guns" used for pest control. They explain the "Rutledge bore" design, where the barrel flares out after the initial .22 caliber section to improve shot spread. While originally practical for clearing small pests, this well-preserved example is now considered a collectible curiosity.
