My 311, my other SxS Stevens, has [had] the worst stocks on it. They were of good construction and size, but were birch or beech with this terrible brown stain that was about one step away from paint.
I was under the impression that 311's were walnut stocked?
Not a Collector of Steven's, but one who appreciates a great field shotgun, I stripped off all that brown crap to find this beautiful beech[birch]. Two coats of a light mahogany stain, and 10 coats of Forbys tung oil, and this stock has turned out great also. [pic to follow]
I had to cut it down about 1/2" also, as the LOP was waaaaaay too long for me to shoulder the gun from the carry position.
Okie, this one is a 311, series H. Got any info [general] on the H series????
Thanks again,
Chris~
