That sounds like a steal on a 311 .410, for certain. I own one .410 double - a Hunter Arms made for Sears, Ranger 104.3 Precision Grade. I think Hunter Arms sent @ 221 of those to Sears. I've taken a few squirrels with it.

I'll 'fess up; here's my Stevens 311; action is stamped 5100, twin ivory beads as Destry mentioned. There was a trade or two involved in the acquisition so I'm not exactly sure how much I've got in it, but I'm confident more than $150; nice find! I've never shot it on anything but pasture clays; it broke 'em...

the 5100 model is older than the 311 model..i like the way stevens is stamped on your gun its hard to find a 410 in a 5100 series gun....charlie

I have some "little skeeters" as I recall made by Stevens. 12/.410 & 20/.410. I made some long and short kills on dove with the 12/.410 in a full & full hammered GH. Surprised hell out of both Papa and me.

Nice find Destry! Not a big stevens person myself, but I do know a particular gun store that has 2 stevens 12 gauges for $850 a piece. Yeah they have been there a while.

Yeah, that's pretty sporty on Stevens 12 gauge unless it's one of the early graded guns or something. My guess is they'll own them a long long time.....

Phil that's a great one! Wish mine looked that good! And I wish it was marked Stevens instead of Ranger.....

They are both Savage/Stevens so not early guns. But the owner will swear up and down they are just as rare as a fox or a parker. Course, he also has a Savage Fox he has marked and priced as a Fox.

I guess I should consider myself fortunate that 410s are the most expensive Parker gauge. I don't have a use for them either. On the other hand, my wife is deadly on quail with her Marlin/LC Smith 410
