The firearm is fitted with a plastic buttplate bearing the STEVENS logo and the SVG monogram. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The shotgun retains a moderate amount of its original blued finish, showing thinning on the barrel and scattered light surface oxidation. The receiver exhibits scattered scratches and minor finish wear consistent with field use. The walnut stock and forend display typical handling marks, including scratches and minor compressions, particularly on the buttstock, but remain structurally sound. The bore is bright with no significant pitting visible. The pump action appears to function correctly, though the firearm has not been test-fired.
