I can't find anything about a "379" (could it be 370 or 375?), but if the name is stamped as you have it written, the gun was made between 1864 and 1886.
front trigger fires right barrel. back trigger fires left. boone
Stevens 12ga. /mod dhead naught
The Stevens will accept whatever caliber designation is stamped on the side of the barrel.
The front trigger opened the breach.
* Full ** Modified *** Improved Stamped on the Barrel.
the stock is the wooden part that you hold against your shoulder, the trigger mechanism and the barrel are attached to it.
The model number should be stamped on the barrel just above the trigger guard.
The "J.Stevens" name was shortened to "Stevens" in 1940. What you need to look for is the chamber size, which should be stamped on the barrel. It needs to be 2 & 3/4 inches to shoot modern ammo. Also Stevens usually stamped near the chamber size if the barrel was proof tested. My Stevens single is stamped "Proof Tested Steel" and it handles modern ammo well, but kicks like a mule. To be really safe, let a gunsmith look at it.
The pump is a pull-down located on the barrel, and the 12-shot loader is a cylinder integrated in the gun just past the trigger mechanism and before the barrel. I've tried dismantling it, but to no avail. the air cilinder (located on the barrel) does not seem to touch any of the springs associated with the firing/trigger mechanism. Blocked? or a missing part that fits into the air cylinder If someone can explain how the mechanism works i can see if everythings there. thank you.
This is probably a replica revolver produced in Italy.
pull forearm off. open barrel and remove. drift 2 trigger assembly pins out. pull trigger ass. down and out. now drift the barrel catch pin and the lever and catch can be removed.
Sounds like you have a Turkey gun. @0 guage and the other barrel is a rifle. They are worth up to $500 or so. Depends on the caliber of the rifle barrel.
