Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Picked up a Stevens 520 today, 12ga. 30" barrel. Anyone have one or shoot one. It's in pretty nice condition and what what I can see was made in 1907. Blue Book says that it's a John Browning design. Runs dummies thourgh the action really well. Plan on shooting it with some light 12ga. stuff and using it for our unofficial Wild Bunch shoot that we have and maybe on some pheasants. Anyone have anything to add.

Colt McAllister Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Looks cool can't wait to see it. Lets chop it to 20" before you find out how much it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 Looks cool can't wait to see it. Lets chop it to 20" before you find out how much it's worth. your saw or mine? I don't know this one kinda speaks to me(yeah I know). It's kind of a cool looking shotgun. The barrel and receiver both have the letter "I" with a circle around it. I don't think it's worth too much. course I don't have that much into it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deacon Will Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Before you do any modifyling or chopping.... check out the collector's value. I purchase several of these as State Police Trade-ins back in the 70's. The Goverment gave them to state agencies as surplus..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Woodrow Cahill, SASS # 54363 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Cool gun Deuce. It is a Browning design, a pump version of the A5. Worth anywhere from $175 to $750. Some were stamped "Ranger" and sold by Sears. The 20" versions came in two flavors: Riot and Trench. Plain barreled Riot was for law enforcement, Trench (with metal guard & bayonet lug) for the military. Seem 'em for $1,300 - $3,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Fill 'Em 67797 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I have a Stevens 520-30 riot gun just like this:PICTURE Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, the US and flaming bomb markings were ground off. Then they engraved the sides of the receiver with some scrollwork and someone's initials. So, they turned a $1000 shotgun into a $150 shotgun. It's in good shape and works great. Smoothest pump I have, slam fires too. I like how the barrel comes off. I plan to use it for WB where allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
