Welcome to the wonderful world of "hardware" guns. It would be very difficult to give you an exact age of your rifle. Witte Hardware was a large business that lasted from about 188o to 1983. At one time it was common for MANY gunmakers to make guns for others, using the purchaser's brand names. Examples of this include the Sears JC Higgins brand, the Montgomery Wards Western Field, and Western Auto's Revelation brands. In some cases, like Witte, Shapleigh Hardware, Gambles Store- the store name was used. These guns were made by Stevens/Savage, Mossberg, Marlin, Winchester, Noble- and many others. Many of these may not have a specific model (I have 2 Gambles Store Pioneer rifles, and it took 5 years to match them to original make/ model) Most of these rifles did not have serial numbers, indicating they were made before this was required in 1968. Personally, I like these guns. They were a "working man's gun"- inexpensive but sound, made to be an everyday shooter- and a reminder of a time when just about every store had a gun department.
No. No I can not. so sorry. But I can say be careful with gums.
A 410 gauge, single barrel shotgun with Volunteer stamped on it and Serial number A981277 was made by the Volunteer Arms Company. They made guns for Belknap Hardware store in Louisville, Kentucky.
Impossible to answer without a DETAILED description of the weapon.

Single Action.
Single action means the trigger only performs a single action; it drops the hammer to fire the gun. The hammer on a single action gun must be cocked before the gun can be fired.
Sig Sauer pistols can be single action only. They can also be double, single action where the first shot is double action and the following shots are single action. Also they can be double action only, or they can be double action Kellerman. They give many options for the shooters preference. Just a quick answer without a lot of detail.
Generally speaking, a single action gun is a gun that has to be cocked before it can be fired. The term "single action" comes from the fact that the trigger only has a single function; it drops the hammer to fire the gun. A good example of a single action handgun is a 1911 style or a Browning Hi-Power. Also, the old style "cowboy" revolvers are single action.
single action pistol means that the hammer has to be cocked back in order to fire. double action means you merely have to pull the trigger back and the gun will fire. some double action guns can be fired single action or double action.
No, each hardware device has specific drivers.
Sold by Belknap Hardware and Mfg. Co. in Louisville, Ky. Other sites indicate that several manufacturing company made products for them.
