What’s Included
- Savage Arms Model 511 Series A 12 gauge side-by-side shotgun
The Model 511 Series A is a classic American boxlock built under the Savage/Stevens umbrella, recognized as the Springfield-branded counterpart to the Stevens Model 311 family. This example is chambered in 12 gauge with a two-shot capacity and extractor-only ejection, operated by a top-lever break-action.
Its steel receiver wears a color casehardened finish paired with blued steel barrels. The 28 inch barrels have a solid top rib and a single front bead sight. The bore condition is noted as good.
The hardwood stock set includes a pistol grip and a beavertail snap-on forend with pressed checkering at the wrist. A ventilated orange recoil pad has been installed, providing a 15.0 inch length of pull. Safety is handled by a tang-mounted safety, and the gun is configured with traditional double triggers.
Markings include "12 R Y" and "S41" on the barrel flats. Overall configuration and features align with the 511 Series A pattern: side-by-side blued barrels, color casehardened receiver, top-lever action, double triggers, and extractor-only ejection.
