Description:
This J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co. Model 345 20 ga. is very desirable collector gun in about 85% condition. It retains about 90% fading case colors, most barrel blue, and very good varnish (may be refinished but looks original). The twenty-eight inch barrels are choaked 0.010 & 0.14 thousandths. Weight is 6lbs 1oz. LOP = 14” over original HRBP, DC = 1 ¾”, DH = 3”. All in all, a very nice example of a rear little gun that would make a nice addition to your Stevens collection or for quail & grouse. Reduced from $1750
The Stevens Model 345 was a very neat little gun made in 20 ga only from 1916 to 1928. Only about 3600 of this model were made. The 345 is light weight and has a robust in design. Mechanically unique for an American gun, the main springs are floating in action slots with the forward end riding on cocking dogs that protrude from the action knuckle. Said cocking dogs are depressed by notches in the fore-end iron as the barrels are dropped down. This long main spring has roller bearings on the other ends that reduce friction and facilitate cocking. I know no uther American gn made besides the Colt 1883 with roller barings on the spring tips.
