Description
This Stevens Model 311A is a break-action side-by-side shotgun manufactured by the Savage Arms Corporation in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts. It features 24-inch barrels chambered for 12-gauge 2 3/4-inch shells. The barrel assembly is constructed of selected forged steel and includes a textured rib with a single bead front sight. The steel receiver displays case-hardened colors and houses a dual-trigger mechanism with a tang-mounted safety. The furniture consists of a smooth walnut pistol-grip stock and a matching splinter-style forend. Visible markings include “STEVENS MODEL 311A” and “SAVAGE ARMS CORPORATION CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS. U.S.A.” on the receiver. The barrels are marked “SELECTED FORGED STEEL” and “PROOF TESTED — 12 GAUGE — 2 3/4 INCH CHAMBER —”. The water table and barrel flats bear stamps including an encircled “G”, “N V”, and “S”. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The barrels retain a significant portion of their blued finish with areas of thinning, moderate holster-type wear, and scattered surface oxidation. The case colors on the receiver remain visible though muted, with areas of silvering and light pitting. The walnut stock shows typical handling marks, scratches, and impressions. A significant longitudinal split is present on the underside of the wooden forend. The bore condition was not physically inspected. The break-action and triggers appear to operate, though the firearm has not been function-tested or checked for headspace.
