Old Stevens 311 comes home

1
Bit rough around the edges, but it locks up tight and the barrels ring nicely. 30" barrels, Full & IM chokes, bores look good, two triggers, not much finish left. Non toxic that's safe for the barrels is $3.00 a shot ($75 for 25 rounds of Hevi-shot) but lead is still ok at the trap line and for upland/small game. I may get a box or two just to be able to chase a mallard with it.

I probably overpaid at $250 but it felt good in my hands and I just couldn't leave it sit on the shelf. :laugh: So it goes. Daffy, beware! Fudd is coming!

Edit: If I have decoded things correctly, it's a 1953 production shotgun from Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts.

The cheap stuff isn't. The cheap Federal Steel for example would make a mess of the barrels Hevi-shot & NiceShot won't. They were designed with the old doubles in mind. Expensive stuff though.

Bismuth and Tungsten Matrix are the magic words.
