Looks like a Savage/Stevens 311 to me as well. Does it have the date code just behind the knuckle on the bottom? These were made from 1949 to 1989 so it might have the date code..Geo
Maybe made by Stevens and sold unbranded by one of the hardware chains?

It's not like my Stevens 311 .410. The receiver is shaped differently around the opening lever, the forearm looks different and I don't see the screw through the forearm and the flat sections of the barrels are a different shape. It also looks different where the pins go through the action.

Def looks like a Stevens of some variety. The cocking lug in the bottom of the receiver looks like a Stevens. Maybe a Springfield Stevens or like already said, maybe an unbranded hardware variety.
Looks like an earlier than later gun though

BTW you will probably want to take the first $100 that come along for it. Mine is on the way

Since it has a serial number I'd guess it was made after 1968 Gun Control Act. It might be an earlier version than the H series, but it looks like an H to me. If earlier I'm surprised it has a serial number..Geo

An early Stevens similar if not identical to one I am working on. Mine has the screw through the top lever like yours and is similar in other ways. Mine has Springfield markings on the side of the receiver, Chicopee Falls and the 1915 patent dates. Your gun is my gun. Stevens for sure.

In my opinion, if this were a German gun, we would be incorrectly calling it a "Guild gun". It looks like a gun made by Stevens for "the trade", to be marketed by someone else and not marked by the marketer.

The cocking lug in the bottom of the receiver is different than mine in that the one in the photo looks like it has a line running down the center making it look like 2 pieces. It might be just the photo but in any event my cocking lug is 1 piece. I also notice that there is an exposed screw in the opening lever. Mine opening lever has no exposed screw. Mine just says model 311 in the side, no letter after the 311. So could be that the gun in these photos is an earlier gun because there are quite a few differences in mine. Yet the gun in the photos has a serial number. Mine does not.

Certainly looks like a Savage product. Not the 311 but the earlier Models that preceded like a 5100 or 5200.
