Stevens Model 311A .410 Bore Side-by-Side Shotgun, 26-Inch Barrels, Fixed M & IC Chokes
This Stevens Model 311A delivers classic American double-gun craftsmanship in a lightweight .410 bore platform that was produced before serial numbers were required in 1968. Forged steel barrels, a case-colored receiver, and walnut furniture give it the rugged build and timeless look that hunters and collectors value.

What's Included
- Stevens Model 311A .410 bore side-by-side shotgun
The .410 bore version of the Model 311A was produced in smaller numbers than the 12 or 20 gauge variants, making examples like this more sought after. The lack of a serial number confirms pre-1968 manufacture, adding period authenticity.
Its 26-inch steel barrels feature a matted solid rib and are roll-marked “SELECTED FORGED STEEL” and “PROOF TESTED .410 BORE.” Fixed Modified and Improved Cylinder chokes provide a versatile pattern combination well suited to small game and upland birds.
The case-colored carbon-steel receiver pairs with blued barrels for a classic two-tone finish. Walnut furniture with a plain pistol grip and beavertail forend offers a comfortable, straightforward grip without unnecessary embellishment.
Dual mechanical triggers let the shooter choose either barrel instantly, while the manual tang safety cocks the internal hammers on opening. An extractor lifts spent shells for easy removal, avoiding the complexity of auto-ejectors and keeping the action simple and reliable.
