Depending on condition of metal and wood, Stevens double .410s of any age tend to bring in the $300 to $600 range.
If it is a typical Stevens double or single barrel there should be a metal lever towards the back of the stock slide it left or right and tilt the barrel down.
Gun has TLL 409 on right side of reciever. No markings just SN
The model number should be on the right side.
eBay has them occasionally, as does gunbroker.com and gunsamerica.com. There is a seller on eBay that has one right now, (as of 4/5/13). Seller id is militariamason. Good luck!
Most all shotguns are loaded by "breaking the barrel(s) open, particularly double barrels. Do you mean "Nylon" or possibly teonite. Stevens put a teonite stock on model 5100's (I know, I purchased one in July, 1947 in Beaumont, Texas) right after the war was over. .
Yes. However, side by side double barrel shotguns are built so that line of sight from the two barrels meet each other, and cross- usually at about 35-40 yards. This means that a slug fired from the right barrel will go the the left of the aiming point beyond that range, the left barrel, slug goes right of the aiming point.
front trigger fires right barrel. back trigger fires left. boone
i have a Stevens like the one you speak of.....here is what mine is stamped....hope it helps.....top, patented august 12 1913 right side of receiver trade mark Stevens reg us pat off & fgn Stevens arms company chicopee falls mass. usa left side stamped nitro special.........
I too would like some information regarding a 20 gauge J. Stevens Arms Company 'Springfield' double barrel shotgun, the only other markings are 5000 on the right side plate and a circled 22 near the trigger guard.
yes, I have a 311a double barrel 20ga and the left barrel is a full choke and the right barrel is modified. I also have a Springfield 511 double barrel and the chokes are the same on it. If you look at the end of the barrel you can tell one of them is slightly smaller and that is your full choke, that would be the left barrel and the right barrel is modified. I hope that helps. Of course, if they are improved and open there will also be a difference in the measurements. Just take it to a gunsmith and ask him to check. If he has the gauges, it will take him less than a minute and he probably won't even charge you for it.
Made for Sears Roebuck by Stevens. There may be a model number on the right side of the receiver (most likely 5000, 5100, or 311) or a Sears product number on the barrel (101.6?) which could give an approximate date.
At what distance??
