The Model 335 uses a hammerless boxlock action combined with a rectangular rib extension with sliding top wedge (third fastener). This setup, paired with a central extractor, gives the gun its classic Stevens operating system without auto-ejectors.
The 30 inch steel barrels are joined by a solid, matted top rib and a single front bead sight. The barrels retain bluing, while the receiver was originally color case hardened and now shows a silver/gray patina; the receiver is steel.
Controls and handling elements include double triggers and a manual tang safety. The walnut furniture features a pistol-grip buttstock and a splinter forend, both with checkering at the wrist and forend. Length of pull is 14.0 inches.
Manufactured in the United States in the 1910s–1920s era, this example has matching serial numbers on the watertable, barrel flats, and forend iron, aligning the major components to the gun.
