Description:

Offered here is an outstanding example of a World War II U.S. Stevens Model 620 trench shotgun. A reported 12,174 Stevens Model 620 shotguns were manufactured on U.S. contract during World War II, as adopted for the Army and Marine Corps, and remained in service throughout the Korean War and Vietnam War. The Stevens Model 620 was a refinement of the Model 520. A solid frame hammerless shotgun, the 620 was capable of being taken down for transport as well as having slam fire capability, making it both easy to move about as well as a vicious source of firepower. A single brass bead sight is installed on the bayonet lug adapter, with a six-hole heat shield, cylinder choke, "P" above a flaming bomb stamp along with the three-line Stevens/Savage company Chicopee Falls address on the right side of the barrel, with the gauge and 2 3/4 inch chamber markings on the left. The "P" and flaming bomb stamp are repeated on the left side of the receiver along with "MODEL 620" and "U.S.", and the serial number and "U/S" on the underside ahead of the trigger guard. Fitted with a smooth round forearm, pistol grip stock and serrated plastic buttplate. 14 inch length of pull. Includes three full 10-count World War II era boxes of Remington-UMC headstamped brass shell 00 buckshot 12 gauge M19 ammunition and a tan canvas Airtress Midland 1944 dated U.S. shotgun ammunition pouch.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retains 98% plus original blue finish showing a proper plum hue on the bayonet lug adapter, with minimal minor handling marks. Wood is also excellent with a few minor handling marks, and distinct edges. Mechanically excellent. The ammunition boxes are very fine. This excellent Stevens Model 620 trench shotgun would make a fine addition to any U.S. military firearms collection!
