Is it then fair to say the Stevens 5000, 5100, 520 (should be 530, the 520 was a John M. Browning designed pump gun), 311, and Fox B all the same design? I have a vague memory of reading that millions of the 311/Fox B were made. Any idea about total numbers made?
There were a number of changes made over the 49 years this basic design was produced, designated by letters A up to H. I wonder if Savage even knows how many were produced? Pre WW-II they were serial numbered. Then from the consolidation at Chicopee Falls in 1947 to the GCA 68 they weren't. There is also the matter of the J. Stevens records being destroyed in a fire, some say to cover up charges of war profiteering?!? So, who knows.
