Stevens 20 ga

[kfrancis2001]

I inherited a 20 ga. Stevens bolt action Model 58 shotgun and I have looked the gun over for the serial number any suggestions as to age or were to find the number.

If you cannot find the serial number on it, it is safe to say that your Stevens Boltaction shotgun is over 38 + years old. Because of the Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA 68) required all firearms after the act was law have a serial number. Before then most low priced shotguns and .22 rifles did not have serial numbers and were thought of as tools (as in farming) for pest control and not weapons of mass destruction.

I have a Stevens model 22/410, it has no serial number(made in 1953). As kjeff50cal said, if made before '68 no serial #.
