The "M" in the oval indicates 1961. Can see the year chart in (even though it says rifles) - Rifles with Date Code Stamp (1949-1969)
I just purchased my first Stevens SxS , model 311A, and would love to determine its age. It was made in Chicopee Falls.
20 ga. On the underside of the receiver is a small oval with “17M” stamped in it. Is this gun made in 1960 at Chicopee Falls, but actually part of their 1961 sales? Or something entirely different? Thanks
