Just had to add one more. While not technically a "gill-gun" it is the bolt action brother to them.

Gill-gun or Click-Clack
These are common nicknames for the Savage rifles with the exhaust vents on the backside of the receiver. The most commonly know models are the Savage 6A and the Stevens 87A although the number of variants and store brands are numerous. The Click-Clack name comes from the unique sound the action makes as the bolt is held back until the trigger is released causing the distinctive sound of it in semiautomatic mode.

I'll admit I had to look it up. Now I want one.......or two.
Nice collection.
Is that front sight on #1 the original sight? If so I'm guessing that might be an early style?
As far as I know it is, held on by one screw, going by patent dates on Barrel and checkering on grip I figured around 1940-42?
Got it.
