    Larzman...

    Until you tell us a bit more about them (such as the Model or action type), we are in the dark. Stevens made a BUNCH of different Models.

    Sorry 'bout that...ok...here goes...the first is a 20 ga. double barrel model # 311 series H, the second is a 28 ga. single shot model # 94F and the third is a 12 ga. double barrel...not real sure on model #...hope this helps a little more...was wanting just a little back ground on the Stevens co. itself and anything about the guns would be a bonus too...they've been in the family a long time...Thanks!!!

    J. Stevens Arms Co., founded 1864 at Chicopee Falls MA as J. Stevens & Co. 1886 name was changed to J. Stevens Arms and Tool Co. 1916 the plant became New England Westinghouse and produced Mosin-Nagant rifles. 1920 the firm sold to Savage Arms Corp. who continued to produce shoulder arms under the name "Stevens" until 1990. Currently the only newly made arm using the name is a recreation of the Stevens Favorite, a single shot .22 rifle, introduced in 1999.

    Your Model 94 was made from 1939-1961.
    Your Model 311 also had a long production life, but is now discontinued.
    Most parts for both of these guns are still available from the Numrich Gun Parts Corp.

    Was wondering if anyone can give me any info on a Stevens Model 77B Pump-Action 12 gauge shotgun? If anyone can inform me where to find the serial number on this, that would be a plus as well.

    Thanks in advance

    Your shotgun was produced between 1954 and 1971. If the serial number is not readily visible it was probably manufactured before 1968, as serial numbers were not required prior to that date.
