Up for sale is a classic piece of mid-century American manufacturing: a Stevens Model 820B 12-Gauge pump-action shotgun.
This isn't your modern, mass-produced shotgun with plastic components and aluminum alloys. This 820B features a rock-solid, machined steel receiver and an original ribbed wood forend, giving it an incredibly robust feel and a satisfyingly smooth, heavy pump action.
Manufacturer: Savage Arms Corporation, produced while operations were still based in the historic Chicopee Falls, Mass. facility.
Production Year: Features the distinct factory inspector stamp "3B", verifying its exact manufacture date to 1950. Excellent Curio & Relic (C&R) era firearm.
