I'm another that started out with a Stevens ............ actually it was stamped J.C. Higgins, a 26" barreled .410 S x S with Tenite stock and forend. I thought it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. Nearly rubbed the bluing off it making sure it never rusted. Gorgeous figure in that Tenite butt. laugh

Killed my first doves with it, my first quail, my first rabbit, my first squirrel, and my first owl. Before I'm scolded remember, in those days it was quite proper to kill raptors that raided the chicken yards.
