The Stevens Model 94 is a single-shot, break-action shotgun that has a long history, dating back to the early 20th century, though the \"Series M\" designation indicates a later production variant. Here‚‚s a breakdown of its history:
Early Stevens Single-Barrel Shotguns:
J. Stevens & Co. Beginnings: Founded in 1864 by Joshua Stevens, the company initially produced single-shot pistols and rifles.
Entry into Shotguns: Starting in 1872, Stevens began manufacturing single-barreled shotguns based on their existing tip-up rifle and pistol designs. The Model 30 was the first, offered in 14 gauge, quickly followed by other gauges.
Popularity of Single-Shots: Single-barrel shotguns were a common and affordable firearm for many years, used for hunting, farm work, and general utility. Stevens became a major producer of these types of shotguns.
The Stevens Model 94:
Introduction: The Stevens Model 94 was introduced in 1937. It became one of the company‚‚s most popular and enduring single-shot shotgun designs.
Simple and Robust Design: The Model 94 was known for its simplicity, reliability, and affordability. It was a no-frills ??? ???????? gun.
Various Gauges and Barrel Lengths: The Model 94 was produced in various gauges, including 12, 16, 20, 28, and .410 bore, with different barrel lengths to suit various purposes.
Stock Materials: Stocks were typically made of wood, but some later versions, particularly after World War II, featured synthetic stocks made of materials like Tenite, a type of cellulose acetate butyrate plastic. These synthetic stocks were durable and weather-resistant.
The \"Series M\" Designation:
Later Production: The \"Series M\" designation indicates a later evolution or production run of the Model 94. Firearm manufacturers often add suffixes or prefixes to model numbers to denote changes in features, manufacturing processes, or periods of production.
Likely Post-1960s: Based on serial number conventions and general firearm history, the \"Series M\" likely appeared sometime after the 1960s. Many Model 94s produced before 1968 did not have serial numbers. The presence of a serial number with a letter prefix (as seen in some examples) is a common indicator of post-1968 production due to the Gun Control Act of 1968 requiring serial numbers on all manufactured firearms.
Specific Features of the \"Series M\": Without specific Stevens documentation for the \"Series M,\" it‚‚s generally understood to be a continuation of the reliable Model 94 design. Features likely included:
Break-action mechanism: A single hinge point allowing the barrel to pivot for loading and unloading.
External hammer: Requiring manual cocking before firing.
Simple locking mechanism: A lever or button to release the barrel.
Bead front sight: For basic aiming.
Hardwood or synthetic stock and forend.
Various gauges and barrel lengths, consistent with the Model 94 traditi
