model number? pics? rollstamp info?

Savage bought Stevens many many years ago. Both makes have been favorites in my family.

i have one also, wil have to get some info off of it and see what it is

[Seventy4Blazer]

no model number, has a stamp that looks like an I that is circled. the thing is old, and thats about all i know. its not a 12 ga like it was advertised... and that kind of bothers me. it looks like it, but a shell wont fit. im taking it in today to find out what it is. its bigger than a 20ga, i know that...

ill get pictures soon...

Most likely a 16 guage. They were very popular.

Don't buy any "high brass" for it, it will knock the heck out of you.

[Seventy4Blazer]

yeah, well too late for that... all walmart had was "Remington Express long range" and when you open it up you find that long range means high brass...

i was in a hury... but it will work.

[elitefirearms]

I would ask a gunsmith if that shotgun can handle high brass. If its real old i wouldnt shoot the high out of it. chances are it wont blow up but you could crack the stock after a box or 2

Thanks for the advice.

Any other info on this shotty?
