Steven's has always made wonderful affordable guns. My favorite brand as well. I like the newer ones too, like the Model 311 and I love their single barrels the best too. Great video!

Its a solid old gun, not often seen. Is quite heavy, made to be a duck/goose Gun of its day.. Still a great shooter today. After 115 yrs

Loved your video! You are not alone,I am also a double barrel collector. I have also owned over unders, and also moved them from my gun room. At one point,I thought I was alone in double collecting. Lol . I just enjoy the feel and the swing of a well make double.,be it sidelock,boxlock,or back action. I seem to run into quite a few doubles out here on the border of mb. And Sask. Thank you for showing your Stevens. That is one I need to add to my American side of doubles. Thank you!

Thank you. My buddy is having me work on his, and I could not find any model numbers or serial numbers. So I’m guessing it’s pre 1950’s.

That's a nice old gun. The plain Jane workhorses of yesteryear are more elegant than those of today. My father had an old Belgian hammergun that he rarely missed with. I've always wanted to get my lunch clamps on a Stevens 311 with 30" bbls. rated for steel.

Unless the chokes are opened or tubes installed...no stevens 311 was steel rated. Lead / bismuth be ok....steel...no no

@@kenlansing1216 no mistakes. It boils down to barrel wall thicknesses and pressure limits of those actions... Steel shot rounds are very punchy as steel needs high velocity to be effective...they are mostly in and around 10,000 to 11,000 psi....some even higher....

@@rodsvintagesxschannel.3095 In more prosperous times I had a Stevens 311 and it seemed to be made out of better steel than my IGA Uplander which is rated for steel. Mind you I didn't break out the micrometers and check. What is your opinion on both shotguns?

The J Stevens 355 was a utility grade sxs ( working mans gun ) no frills 2 3/4" chambers forged steel barrels , boxlock action with the dolls head rib extension lockup, std field loads up to 1 1/4oz would be fine... Slugs and buckshot also. No steel waterfowl loads...chokes are to tight. Lead shot and or bismuth would be fine to use. Have it inspected for mechanical cond prior to shooting. Check barrels for bulges or dents.
