Stevens 12 ga, Model 77D, made before 1968 may not have a serial number. However, some do! If it has a serial number, it will be behind the trigger on the receiver side.
The Model 30 is a take-down gun, with the serial # on the lower tang behind the trigger guard, and alson on the barrel, once removed from the frame. I believe the gun is a Stevens 520 or 620 with Wards name on it.
If marked with that version of the company name, it was made sometime between 1886 and 1916. I doubt if anyone can get you much closer than that.
The safety has always been in the trigger guard of the A5. Early guns had a front-to-rear safety in the front of the trigger guard. Yours should have the later style crossbolt safety behind the trigger. Plain barrel Sweet Sixteens in excellent condition will bring $1000. They drop off fast as they get toward 80% condition. In 'VG' condition, $650.
It is a Stevens Model 311. Dates are found behind the hinge pin, ahead of the trigger. Remove the barrel to see. It will be a circle with a letter in it. A is 1949 and each letter adds another year. B-1950, etc.. there is no "0" or "Q". X is 1970.
Depends. Stevens shotguns made before the Gun Control Act of 1968 would not necessarily have serial numbers, but some do. Generally found on the side of the receiver or behind the trigger guard. Also, it can be found on the bottom of the the gun just before the break in front of the trigger guard possibly between the two screws.
Can't give an exact date, but Stevens used the Riverside name from about 1920 to 1945.
THAT NUMBER LOOKS LIKE A SERIAL NUMBER NOT A MODEL NUMBER. IF IT IS LOCATED UNDER THE STOCK JUST BEHIND THE TRIGGER GUARD IT IS A SERIAL OR PRODUCTION NUMBER NOT A MODEL NUMBER.
it is that part under the barrel that you hold it by. when you hold a shotgun one hand will be on the forward part of the stock directly behind the trigger and the other will be on the forearm or fore end as it is sometimes called.
There is no such thing as a "model 702337". The number you list appears to be a serial number. The Model number will be stamped on the barrel, or on the upper tang behind the hammer.
