Anybody know of a way to date a Stevens 311? I know it's from before 1968 because we can't find a serial number anywhere.

It's a 20 gauge as I said, the barrels are 28" so they're probably choked Mod/Full (I might have learned something in all those hours memorizing the Sears & Roebuck catalog when I was a kid.). The chambers are 2 3/4" only. The stock is I believe uncheckered walnut, but I can't swear to that. Whatever it is it has some fairly nice, if straight grain. No splits, cracks, or oil damage. The Stevens guns I remember had "walnut stained hardwood." This is not the same stuff I know that. It has double triggers as I suppose all Stevens did.

I got no idea why I think I might want it, other than I wanted one back when they were still in the Sears wish book. I had a 12, but wanted a 20 to go with it.
