A few days ago I bought a Stevens 320 Security 12 gauge on sale for $199. After a tear down and good cleaning and oiling, today I put it through its paces and it worked flawlessly and shot accurately. I’m certainly pleased with the gun and hope that it continues to function without a bobble. Only time will tell, but I have no reason to believe that it will fail. It took four years for me to finally pull the trigger both figuratively and actually. In 2012 I saw one for the first time and liked its appearance and feel but I couldn’t figure out why it was selling for so much less than the competitions’ guns. As soon as the clerk explained the meaning of “PRC” it became clear and my interest died. All I could think about was growing up in the ‘50’s when “Made in Japan” meant ”don’t waste your hard earned money.” Same here, I thought. Fast forward to last week. I checked it out once again, this time with the perspective that Japan currently makes some of the best cars and trucks, electronics, etc. Maybe it was time to take a chance on China. I did some online research and found that recent production guns have few, if any, of the early production flaws. The gun I bought is blemish free, solidly welded, no gaps in stock to receiver mating, etc. The trigger is no prize winner but is functional for the intended purpose. I like the finish on military arms, so the matte black on barrel and similar finish on the receiver appeal to me and again is appropriate for the intended purpose. I ran 35 rounds total of 1 oz bird shot, 1 ˝ oz rabbit loads, 00 buck, and Brenneke slugs without a hitch. Shooting on a 50 yard smallbore bullseye target at 25 yards, sight adjustment put 3 of them in the black. I recommend a good You Tube disassembly vid by sparetimeprojects6 Stevens Savage 320 Pump Disassembly. Also go to survivalistboard.com shotgun forum Stevens/Savage 320 where you can read accounts of dozens of happy 320 owners. Sun City Machinery might not be a household name in the US, but my 2 cents says if you have been considering buying one, don’t wait!
