Springfield 511?

[LeontheProfessional]

So what do yall know about these guns. It is a Springfield 511 made by Savage. It has 3" chamber and a 28" barrel. The serial number starts with B. Are these basically Stevens 311s or what?

I know someone has to know something about these.

Economy model 311s. Same action, cheaper wood.

Thank you evbutler462. That was exactly what I wanted to know.

This shotgun feels really solid. It was apparently manufactured in 1950. Is it ok for steel load like used for duck hunting?

 

[evbutler462]

No! Shoot no steel in that gun. Lead only.

Lead only, but a good solid gun.
