substitute "difficult" for "perfect" and I agree with you. At least in my hands. YMMV. wink

I bought a 1976 Ugartechea .410 Mod. 30 SxS in good condition, with Ľ choke in both barrels. I stripped off the factory varnish and found a nice piece of walnut underneath. After applying an oil finish I have a good-looking, easy-shooting small bore.

Nigel, she looks svelte and lovely -- what we can see of her. How about a photo of the whole gun?

I've been following this thread and IMO it's really hard to fault a Stevens 311 in 410 as a low end gun. The other thing is they have actually started to appreciate in value. I've had one for several years and honestly they're built like tanks.

Jim, are they built on a .410 frame or on a 20-gauge frame? Looking for that light-as-a-wand feel.

Bill:
I don't think the frame on my example is large enough to accomodate a 20 ga. set of barrels. I just put mine on the bathroom scale and it weighs in at around 5 lbs.

Nigel,

Nice refinish on your M 30. I would like to see the completed gun, as well.

How much does it weigh?

The Stevens 311 will be somewhere around 6# 5 oz. with 26" barrels, the Yildiz much more of a "wand" at 4# 13 oz. with 28" barrels. Big difference. But, ............... you MUST consider the RECOIL!!! laugh

This description jives with all the Stevens 410's I've ever seen. The frames are 12 gauge frames and are so wide that they have no side balls. The barrels sit on a platform to raise them up high enough to align with firing pins. Jim I'd love to see photos of the Stevens 410 you're describing.


Here's a picture of one I found on the internet.
