The Standard Catalog has a comment (quoting from memory, so not exact) "Stevens made a variety of bolt action repeating shotguns between 19xx and 19xx", then lists several model numbers. I'm pretty sure that 39A or at least 39 is in that list. Forget the idea of rechambering for a .45LC. Your barrel, bolt lugs, etc, were designed to withstand a certain pressure. The carrier will also jam with shorter cartridges. If you want a rifle, buy a rifle.
Yes, you can find information for Stevens firearms at the Savage Arms website. http://www.savagearms.com/
The J Stevens Arms and tool Company name on their firearms was used from 1886-1915.This model was made by Stevens from 1912-1932.We can deduce that your Model 235 was made sometime between 1912-1915.I hope that you find this information useful.

I would try numrich arms for a magazine for your Stevens model 34.
Eastern Arms was a brand name sold by Sears Roebuck. The Model 1929 suggests that it was made by J. Stevens Arms Co.
So, what is the model number? sales@countrygunsmith.net
You can find a lot of answers here. It's a good information site. The Stevens 200 by Savage Arms - http://www.303british.com/id62.html What About These Stevens Rifles? - http://www.303british.com/id65.html Stevens 200 Aftermarket Triggers - http://www.303british.com/id64.html
I can't find a cross-reference for that number, but Eastern Arms was a trade name used by Sears Roebuck. Most of the shotguns were made by Stevens/Savage.
I have a Stevens Peerless model I'm in need of a magazine and information about this old rifle.
