Riverside Arms single shotgun 12 ga custom. Nice old school riot cut shotgun from Citywide Supply L.L.C. near South Tucson, Tucson, AZ

Nice old single barrel that someone took the time to modify into their own custom, now is your chance to own it. The barrel is cut down to about 20 inches long, new sight install, but crooked. Extra large action lever, but does get in the way when gripping it. Old shotgun can use some TLC, but it is tried and true. They sure don't make them like they use too. It is also made out of steel, so it isn't super light weight like the low cost aluminum imported shotgun imported now on the market. Made in the USA around 1914 until about 1930's, it is a piece of history.

The Riverside Arms 12-gauge single-shot shotgun is a break-action model built with a steel receiver and wood stock. It has a 20-inch barrel and a one-round capacity. The firearm is marked “Riverside Arms Co., Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, USA,” identifying it as one of the trade-name guns produced under the Riverside label, which was associated with J. Stevens Arms Company. The short barrel length gives this configuration the appearance of a cut-down or riot-style shotgun, differing from the longer hunting versions that were more common in the same era.

Riverside Arms operated as a value line for Stevens, manufacturing utility-grade shotguns throughout the early to mid-20th century. These guns typically shared the same mechanical design as Stevens-branded models but were finished with more economical materials and simpler wood stocks. The steel receiver construction and break-action design reflect the straightforward, rugged approach used for these single-shot firearms. This shotgun is used and shows characteristics consistent with its age and configuration.

The wood stock and steel receiver form a traditional layout typical of Riverside Arms production. No accessories or additional components are specified. The firearm represents a historical example of an economy house-brand shotgun design from Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, maintaining the mechanical simplicity and single-shot layout that defined Riverside Arms models of the period.
