What's Included
- Stevens Model 5100 16 Gauge side-by-side shotgun
The 28 inch side-by-side barrels are marked "SELECTED FORGED STEEL" and "PROOF TESTED — 16 GAUGE — 2 3/4 INCH CHAMBER," confirming 2 3/4 inch chambers and forged steel construction. A solid, matted rib runs the full length, paired with a front bead and a mid-rib bead for straightforward sight alignment.
The receiver is a boxlock, hammerless design operated by a top lever, with a non-selective single extractor for simplicity. Dual triggers provide direct control over each barrel. The case-colored finish on the receiver is accented by the "STEVENS" name, a pointing-dog vignette, and the "5100" model marking.
Stock furniture includes a pistol-grip wood buttstock with a checkered wrist and a slim splinter forend, both in wood. A serrated steel buttplate caps the stock, and the length of pull measures 14.0 inches.
Manufactured in the United States during the 1930s–1940s era, this shotgun carries typical inspector and assembly marks including "U," "W," "G," and other circled letters. It is representative of pre-1968 production that commonly lacked serial numbers. Capacity is 2 rounds.
