Bought a Stevens 311 SxS at a swap meet this morning. Gave $150 for it....metal, bluing, bore and case color are in great shape. Stock needs a little finish help but nothing serious, no cracks or deep gouges. Nice dark walnut color and grain to it. Probably going to true oil it.
All I know about it is it locks up as tight as a brand new one, 2&3/4" chambered 26" barrels...and the thing is built like a tank. It is marked Stevens, not JC Higgins or SEARS. Also everybody that stopped me after I bought it said it was a steal at $150.
No serial number to be found anywhere, that would put it pre mid 70s wouldn't it? While the barrels aren't marked with the choke restriction, the right one looks to be FULL while the left is Modified maybe?
