I recently acquired a Stevens sxs that I thought might be a 350, 360, or a 370. But after I found this thread my confusion grows (it don't take much) because the rib extension on mine resembles the rib extension on the Model 345 but mine is a 12 gauge. The ad said 20 gauge only. Any help on what model I have? Thanks in advance, Scott

Thanks Researcher-I'm not sure how to attach pics yet. The gun is completely disassembled now so if I figure out how to upload pics I will post them.

During the first six or eight years of the 20th Century the J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co.'s double guns were evolving very quickly. In every catalog they were different. My best guess is your gun is a No. 325 as shown in Catalogue No. 52 -- The other possibility would be a No.350, 360 or 370 as shown in Catalogue No. 51. In Catalog No. 52, the No. 350/60/70 had lost the underlug and has a rotary bolt -- By Catalogue No. 52 (Revised Edition) the underlugs were gone and all the guns bolted just through the rib extension. Also, the mono-bloc barrels were gone and they went to chopper lump barrels which they called Demi-bloc. Numbers that had ended in 0 now ended in 5 and the entry-level hammerless became the No. 335.

Researcher-all parts match the 350, 360, and 370 models. The ads above show the main differences appear to be barrel type i.e. twisted, damascus, and special high pressured steel. My barrels do not have any barrel type on them so would it be correct to think "twist" and "Damascus" would be so marked on the barrels?
Thanks Scott
P.S. I believe your user name is the most appropriate on the gun forums that I look at. Your research is greatly appreciated and some times the only source I've received on other firearms info.
