Hello! New here but not to forums. Hope I can learn and contribute.
I have a Savage Stevens 311E 12ga 2 3/4 chambers with checkering on the stocks. I believe it's appox. 1972 vintage, but I'm not sure and can't find out anything about this model per se. Does anyone know anything about it? I killed two Dove with it on Saturday, I can tell you that!
A serial number and I can tell you when it was made.
What else did you want to know?
I am reluctant to post the entire serial number on the web for privacy reasons. I would be interested in knowing how to determine the barrel choke types however. Will a partial number help?
Ya, usually thats what I get is a partial, it's all I need.
Eg: A4321XX
Also, have a look on the barrels and see if you can find any asterisks on them **.
I think your gun might be to modern to have the chokes marked though.
serial A3158xx 7w on the right and 31w on the left barrel at the chamber end.
Thanks for you help.
Made in 1969, not sure what the w stamps are, maybe just inspector or fitting marks.
If the barrel is 26" it's imp cyl and mod chokes and if it's a 28" it'l be mod and full choked.
It is the 26in model. Thanks for the info. Would you know which barrel would be the improved cylinder and which the modified?
Appreciate your help.
The right hand barrel will be the more open choke.
Thanks for all your help guys, and have a Merry Christmas!
