    I believe I have one of those variants with a tennite / plastic stock but it's a 12 gauge...

    Considered swapping the existing stock set for wooden furniture but it appeared to be cost prohibitive.

    Thanks Pal.
    It's very nice. I'm typically very conservative when I rate condition, and for a 65 year old or so gun, it's Really nice!
    The case hardening is stellar! And it locks up real tight!
    It's about the nicest 311A 20 gauge I've ever seen. I certainly see a lot of 12's. But not too many 20's.
    I'll probably be sorry I sold it one day, but my magic closet is pretty full!!
    Good luck

    I believe it will go for more than my Maximum, (Good for you.)

    I am in it for a Serious bid.(We will see how that goes.)

    I'd love to have another.

    Very nice Shotguns.

    Bump, for a very nice Shotgun.

    My bid was topped. (Not surprising, given what I paid for the last one of these I purchased.)

    It's gonna approach/top $600-650 Boys.

    My prediction.




    If only this was in a month or two. [My Jeep is paid off next month.] (Almost an extra $500 available each month.) I'd be all over this. ;)

    I get it!
    Did I mention forum members get 37 + days not 7 days!
    Happy bidding!

    Dad took mine into Delco Remy and sold it. Of course I got a Remington 1100 Lightweight 20

    If there are no markings, then the barrels follow this standard:

    standard chokes by the barrel length, 12 Ga. 24 & 26 inch IC&M, 28 & 30 inch M&F,---- 20 Ga. 24 & 26 inch IC&M, 28 inch M&F,
    16 Ga. 26 inch IC&M, 28 inch M&F,
    410 bore 26 inch F&F /

    The Savage/Stevens 311 back in the day (50 years or so ago) was considered a utility grade shotgun. Today folks realize that they were actually a well-made firearm and many built back then are still giving good service. That's a nice shotgun that you're selling.

    I could not agree more.
    I believe it's better than most of the "junk" being produced today.
    Plus, it's always more fun to hunt with an American classic vintage gun than some piece of Chinese or Turkish plastic piece of trash.

    As a point of order to further clarify for those whom may have a passing interest...

    My gun is a Wards Triumph Model SD52A with a tenite stock and select double triggers with deluxe pressed check wring and a pistol grip cap estuchion

    Selected forged steel barrels 12 gauge with 2 3/4" chambers

    Which would appear to essentially be a 311 cloned or private labeled department store / hardware store gun...

    A nice old gun for sure.
    However, a 20 gauge holds a substantial premium over a 12 gauge in any arena at any time.
    The factory wood stocks and the Savage Steven's name also hold a substantial premium over any "catalog gun" name.
    Check out a Browning Superposed 12 gauge against an equal one in 20 gauge!! Wow! Don't bother looking at 410 or 28 gauge! Big difference.......$$$$$

    Just a couple points to help clarify your position.

    Oh I don't ascribe any great monetary value or great rarity to it...

    It's quirky and odd but somewhat pedestrian and plebeian - though it's the only Wards branded gun I own and it is somewhat interesting from a historical perspective...

    However I like it.

    What's not to like about a fine classic old gun!
