Description:

Manufactured c. 1940-1945. According to Bruce Canfield's "United States Combat Shotguns" (1992) page 110, "The M620 was eventually supplanted by the Model 620A [1940] which differed chiefly in having the receiver tang enclosed by the stock. To confuse the issue, most of the later guns were marked 'Model 620'... A much smaller quantity of Model 620As as compared to the Model 520-30 was acquired during World War II. Available records indicate that just over 12,000 Model 620A shotguns of all types were purchased during the war. Serial numbers have been observed in two ranges... The second group... was numbered from just under #17000 to around #33000." Single brass bead front sight, 2 3/4" chambered and standard three line Stevens/Savage address on the left side of the barrel. The left side of the breech and lower left front of the receiver are marked with "P/flaming ordnance bomb", with "MODEL 620" and "U.S." on the left of the receiver. This war time production riot shotgun features a checkered slide handle and pistol grip stock with a Stevens black plastic checkered buttplate. A hard to find World War Two shotgun that would make a great addition to any U.S. Military collection!

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retaining 90% plus original blue finish, with some light wear on the magazine tube, areas of brown patina, and sharp markings. Buttstock is very fine with some light handling marks, scuffing, and crisp grip checkering. The forend is fine with scattered dents on left side. Mechanically excellent.
