Hey, looking for replacement stock for Stevens 311 16 and/or 20 ga. Found Boyds stock but they only list 12ga. But what is the difference?! I have two 311s. A 16 gauge from the early 60s and a 311H in 20 gauge date unkown. Even though the standard 311 has a smaller forarm and front part of the receiver than the 311 H, the rear tang area of the receiver looked the same. So, since the butt stock on the 16 had been shortened and the 20 was for my 12 year old son, I switched the stocks. No Problem, fit was not perfect at the end of the tang, but good enough. So, why would the 12s be any different?! I can't emagine that such a budget gun was made with gauge specific receivers as even today only the more expensive doubles are so made.

Cabelas has one just marked Stevens 311. Same with Brownells.

Oh, just found this very informative link:

Looks like my swap worked because both are type 1s. But even Macon says nothing about receiver sizes being gauge specific. So, i guess they are not?

Also, anybody know where to get spring sets for these old doubles?
