20 gauge Stevens shotgun model mystery

[Bucksnort1]

I was given a Stevens, 20 gauge single barrel break open shotgun. I cannot find a model number.

Suggestions?

A single shot Stevens....model 301. At least, that is for current manufacture.
Is there nothing on the water table?

 

[Bucksnort1]

Don't know what you mean by water table.

The only markings on the gun, other than a lot of surface rust, is the gauge, proof tested and a serial number.

Can you post a photo?
Action type?
Wood stocks? Or whatever their brown bakelite alternative was?

A Stevens single barrel is a box lock. They don't have a water table.

He said single barrel break open. Those plastic stocks were tenite.

I hate to break this to you, buddy, but there are more than one type of single-barrel, break-action shotgun action.
And, this might blow your mind, Stevens made more than one type.

 

[Hawg]

They made different release mechanisms but none have a water table buddy.

You're conflating replies.
You should probably go re-read the thread, while we wait on a photo or more information.

????? All of my box lock shotguns have a water table - it is the area of the action that the barrel rests on when closed

Stevens 20 ga

Here is the Stevens 20 gauge. It is in rough condition and needs a new firing pin. I have found the pin on line.

Sorry, here is photo.

Model 94 Stevens stopped using the Springfield name on shotguns in 1948 so it was made before that. IIRC they started using it in 1938.

Now that I've found out everything I didn't want to know about this shotgun, what's the bottom line? Is it a model 94?

I don't like your attitude. Figure it out for yourself.

hawg,

Thanks for the advice.

I have a Stevens 107B that looks just like the one you posted. Look up the 107B and I think you will get your answer.

 

[Bucksnort1]

Remington,

Thanks, that's all I wanted, an answer to a simple question. I will check.

sometimes the model is determined by the barrel length. how long is the barrel?

 

[Bucksnort1]

stuckinthe60s,

Barrel is 26".

I am replacing a broken firing pin and want to be sure I buy the right one. This is the reason I need the model. I'm guessing many of these single barrel guns by Stevens have same firing pin.
