Stevens Model 311 .410 Double Barrel Shotgun

[survivalexpert22]

I just got one from a co worker of my dads

[charlie143776]

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW SSSOOOOO COOL

[BlindArteest]

thats a neat looking gun

[survivealist]

Same gun only its a 12 gauge.

[geevoguuvo]

Dylan Klebold used that shotgun at Columbine Massacre. Didn't he?

[cutiger3115]

@geevoguuvo According wikipedia it was a Stevens 12 gauge double barrel.

[cleaner11000]

i have a 1970 model 311E in very good shape, less than 100 rounds through it,but only the left barrel is full choke,the right is modified,and since you were talking safety,,,you should keep the barrels pointed down and lift the stock up to the barrels,when loading,,Not sling the barrels up

[88byrdboyy]

Some double guns will discharge when closed up if the trigger is pulled prior to closing.Some old pump guns too.It`s a failure of the design. The only real safety is the one between your ears.

Doom guys favorites

[spartanworiar]

Yea my dad had one of these things and it hase a litle barel

[44mrclean]

hey i have the 311A 12 gauge could you tell me if the barrel is seamed or not because I would like to shoot slugs and want to be sure it does not have a seamed barrel

[wflynnzz]

[5000btu]

[generalzod4life]

Hey sorry to hear about your grandad Sootch, im guessing he taught You alot thou.

[Azaylus2]

Both Barrels for you, YOU BASTARDS!

[kirbyfan600]

[TheAfifi09]

nice shotgun how much for the price?

[billy7889]

@TheAfifi09 he said about 450-500 and a quarter dollars,but for premium price now because they are collectibles

[pradaG76]

Lol 2 triggers?

[JohnDeere30201]

@pradaG76 yes, one for each barrel

[flamebandit001]

@pradaG76 whats so lol about it

[nalacktack112]

@sootch00 nice man,where can i have those guns in america? im new here

[Barphammer]

Today my grandfather his dad's stevens model 311 and savage model 4c =)

[zombiedude1411]

@SkyRuler12 what if all that food is scarce in the future and its hard to grow and you have nothing to eat?

gotta go out and kill some dinner

his great grampa died dont be a asshole you dick.

[ichewtoast111]

have you tryed shooting cut shells from one of thoes? "poor mans slug"

[wildbill23c]

Even being an adult the 410 is still a fun range shotgun. Great video.

[4Ddreamz]

@SkyRuler12 Okay, when you're hungry go ahead and suck on your foot buddy.

[lordxeras]

Why bother? Can't you just load it with .45 and use it as a double rifle?

[freeheretic111]

nice video, thanks.

[jcashfan365]

beautiful shotgun!!

[twebb2000]

4 10 is really fun too shoot

[kaesy24]

sorry dude

[phil211096]

sorry for your grandfather 

[Flyytb]

I wish my country had guns like that

[17hmr243]

auto safety never = to good muzzle awareness

[fdmqpskjtb]

id like to know what range this has or what range shotguns eusualy have

[Peidmonte89]

Don, I cant tell ya a lot about the gun other than this, the gun in lower condition is worth around $600, that should give ya an idea as to what its worth in good condition. Also that with 3" #4 birdshot at 45-50 yards can drop a groundhog DEAD. I know this for a fact as I am a witness to 13 confirmed kills. This is one of two guns my grandfather is giving me when he passes on.....I wish and hope that day will never come thou. Anyways, great review. The other gun is a JC Higgins model 20 12gauge

[jrwel14]

Have a 1920s Wards Hercules 50 in 410 double barrel. Heard it's like the Savage 5000

[darthbilly97]

hows the kick on a .410

[Pwnermobile123]

@darthbilly97 Very light. You may be surprised if you have never shot a shotgun, but if you shoot a 20 gauge and then the 410, the 410 won't feel like anything.

[darthbilly97]

@Pwnermobile123 well hows the kik on the 20 gauge

[Pwnermobile123]

@darthbilly97 Not bad. Just gotta hold on tight and it'll be fine.

[darthbilly97]

@Pwnermobile123 k sweet thnx for replyin

[Pwnermobile123]

@darthbilly97 No problem, and P.S, Even though the 410 is a good shotgun for low powered hunting, the 20 gauge shells are cheaper. That's why you rarely see anyone have a 410.

[darthbilly97]

@Pwnermobile123 yeaah i end up getttin the mossberg 500 in 20 gauge

[Pwnermobile123]

@darthbilly97 That's what my friend has. I just got a browning over-under 12 gauge and a remington 870 12 gauge, they're both great guns. I never fired the 500, so I can't really diss it, hope you enjoy it :p

[darthbilly97]

@Pwnermobile123 would hav got the 870 cuz i like the finish and safety positionn but it was mor

[IamZORBO]

its TINY :O

[MrJharrison92]

those are nice but mine is so much nicer

[Diehardstelers]

those .410 kick a lot for being its size dont they. My .410 does at least.

[GIANTPOOPSACK]

can you saw it of leagly becase its only .410 ?

[IIMoses740II]

@GIANTPOOPSACK Keep in mind that the firearms that are chambered for .410 shotshells and are sold with less than 18.5 inch barrels (such as the Super Commanche and Taurus Judge) are legal only because they are chambered for the .45 LC as well (thus they will have a rifled barrel); a stand alone .410 with a smoothbore barrel of less than the legal minimum of 18.5 inches means it would be categorized as a short barreled shotgun.

[rcruz003]

Good review ....but the nails painted ??? LOL

[supersonicfan123]

@rcruz003 he said it was paint >.>

[rcruz003]

@supersonicfan123 ... I know, I know .... just having a good laugh thats all .

[coltsrock0314]

nice gun

[jrwel14]

will add that mine says Wards Hercules 50 on the left and 5000 on the right.

[jrwel14]

Neat gun. have a 1920s ward's hercules.

[k0vert]

I like your goth fingernail polish. xD

[8ZRD11R]

Does anyone know if this model was exported to Australia, I haven't seen one of these or heard of one for sale here.

[bikingnutcase0]

Interesting Video! Just one question-what shells are you firing? That's some seirous recoil for a .410! I have a spanish Eibar .410 side-by-side and it feels like firing an airgun, but mine only has 2 3/4" chambers so I can only easily get shells loaded upto 12.5grammes. It does demonstrate pretty well if you have a flinch tho!

[gozzy4u]

My father gave me his side-by-side .410 when I turned 10 years old. I liked chicken a lot but after receiving this gun, partridge was always on my mind. Thanks for the flashback. Cheers.

[bubber25]

shotguns will be the gun of choice when the alien invasion happens =)

[firefox8192]

Long live The Constitution of The United States Republic and the article contained therein.

[thegermanPFAU]

I got my grandads in 12g

[K0K4NE]

lock stock and two smoking barrels

[countrymankdx200]

i got a rossi 410 single shot and i shit a squrrel in the head at about 70 yards i love the 410 but the shells are way to much

[Mouse979]

5:44 Birds Chirping!

5:45 Fires, No chirping.

Did what I think happen, just happen?

[pontiacmaniac2]

@Mouse979 took care of that problem.lol

[Tomisagrandad]

I am fascinated by double barrel shotguns. And i am 13

[719iceman]

heavy guns but classics

[CODmaster6661]

It looks as if it kicks a little much for a 410. Is it that bad?

[supershortyshotgun]

whats the name of a shotgun shooting one bullet at a time like a 40mm pump grenade launcher

[maggot4life323]

im getting 1 of these for chrismas from across the street our neibor giving to us

[rickwillrise]

keep making videos i enjoy them and you seem to know a lot of info on the weapons you show which i like. I'll be looking forward to more videos.

[jondoethegreat]

just picked up a stevens savage arms model 311 series H 12ga side-by-side. serial number starts with "D". any clue on how you determine the date of manufacture

[danhowitzer]

Very informative video on an uncommon shotgun. I inherited an almost identical one from my grandfather marked "Ranger" probably made by J. Stevens Arms & Tool Company for Sears. I have searched for hours on Google and it has yielded very little information other than it may have been made in the 1920's or early 30's. Anyways, thanks for sharing!

[mousepad1123]

my best shot with a shotgun was on a flying pheasant 60 yards away between a small window in the trees with #4 or 5 through a 30" barrel full choke on a ithaca 37

[69Camaro991]

I'm not a big fan of .410 just beacuase of the ammo prices

[MrBuckhunter27]

can you still shoot 45lc out of a 410 riffle

[mousepad1123]

@MrBuckhunter27 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[MrBuckhunter27]

@mousepad1123 hahaha ok i wasnt sure i have the tauras judge and a thomson center that will i was just wandering

[xzxphantomxzx]

exactly why ppl say never point a gun @ sumone even if its not loaded, a friend of mine learned the hard way, sum shrapnel idk how fell into the trigger and my friend showing off my m9 barreta to sumone pressed the trigger and boom, the little peices of w/e was in their hit his friend and he got bruises and cuts all over him, in the end my gun i bought two weeks before incident, got tooken away.

[BloodGod1993]

got one not made by stevens though its a lever arms nitro

[TheTop10Man]

you suld review a ruger .45 blackhawk

[juggaloliove]

I have a stevenson model 820B 12 gauge pump action 28" barrel with a modified choke.Its badass.

[Fallout3ispwn]

This is one of the best double barrels you can get, i keep one loaded beside my bed. I take it dove hunting all the time. I carry it with slugs as a backup gun when i am hog hunting. Just an all around great gun.

[DrShakalu619]

Are all of the guns that you review belong to you?

[sootch00]

@DrShakalu619 No, Not all. I have good friends that help out on occasion. But the majority are mine : )

[DrShakalu619]

@sootch00 Either way they are supperb--regards from lonely Perth

[xBuckWild]

@sootch00 Can I just say that you sir are a true american and may more people aspire to be more like you

[WILD4X4D]

@sootch00 sorry about your great grand father. my great grand father lost his left hand and part of his fore arm; the same way, he was lucky to survive

[ACFootballPoarch]

My gun doesn't have a serial number. Where do I find the circled letter?

[dejavuman22]

Are the barrels smooth or are they rifled?

[Pandemicbullet]

Where would you find the year it was made?

[Wabaanimkii]

I was offered to buy a 10 Ga SxS the other day. Since I just turned 18 I was considering it. Than I was told that my dad doesn't want guns in his house. SHIT! Looks like it time for layaway

[survival101ne]

my 3 favorite things to hunt with a 410 squrirell doves and rabbits and sorry bout your grandfather

[Wabaanimkii]

My grandpa has a bolt action .410 with a threaded barrel and multiple chokes. It don't kick but it's barrel does one helluva flip

[madeinamerica650]

I can't understand why 410 ammo is so expensive....

[101eminem101]

i have a 410 shotgun and when i shoot it i barely move

when i shoot a 12 gauge i move like how you moved now

[Ausbis145josh]

neat little gun don.

[brandinm420]

i have that same shotgun. was handed down to me by my grandfather. i love

it, shoots great and wouldnt give it up for anything.

[chunkiemuffin]

cjfjjhcjqjrychrk1fh3cjhsjhcbj

[OLDSKOOL60813]

Neat 410s Thanks for posting.

[bigbubba5037]

Very cool gun! Great video!

[Bpetehome]

I still love shooting the 410, reminds me of my childhood. But let's see you hit some clay targets with that thing Sootch... :)

[BikerTrashWolf]

Good looking gun, my mom has an old L.C. Smith .410.

It is a shame that .410 is more expensive to shoot than a 12 ga.

[scotts97lude]

ps - add some food coloring to the water in the plastic bottles and watch the color explosion !! =P

[scotts97lude]

FIrst time I shot .410 I was quite surprised by the recoil, I assume small size round , small recoil... defintely wasnt the case !!

Another great vid sootch !! Keep'em coming !

[PRSpl4yer]

Side by sides make me want to play Zombie Panic.

[malcominthemiddle0]

i have a black powder rifle that is my dads and its amazing what web site do you recommend to buy caps and stuff for it

[kalo96792]

"thanks for watching" he says. thank you for making good videos!

[FeralJackalope]

Sweet little gun. I have a double barrel .410 that looks very similar. It was made by Higgins for Sears and It is a blast to shoot and hunt quail with. Not sure what it's worth but doesn't matter since I won't part with it. Nice Vid. Just found you through Nutnfancy, Love what you guys do, Keep it up.

[Misterwhalley88]

That's really a great looking shotgun. What's the trigger pull on it like, is it stiff?

As always, great review sootch.

[4Ugrunt]

This was the gun my Dad used to keep birds out of the strawberry fields.

[Rugghead98]

Good review, but u didn't show the shells eject when u crack it open. I mean do they fly out or do you have to manually pull them out?

[Robbi159]

Double barrels give me a silly stereotypes into my head.. They look nice for hunting!

[xboxrulez12]

What a shame about your Great Grandpa. Your right, keep it broken and unloaded.

[willwood487]

gotta love the .410 I have a pump and a blot action! both mossberg!

[krazy45cat]

Another great review . I shelled my first pheasent by hitting both barrels on my 16ga 311 :)

[harr77]

Now that's a nice home defense option for those of us who don't like "cocked and locked" status of our guns. Leave it open with two shells in it and close when needed. If it doesn't stop it will certainly slow down an attack till you can get to something better.

[seriesioo374]

very nice firearm 

[martinitime1975]

This is really cool. My dad just gave me his 60's era Sears (made by Savage) bolt action 410 single shot. Going dove hunting for the first time in years, and hoping to do as well as last time :)

[Uriel1816]

good video.

[IrishFoodHunter]

Nice one sootch! Im a fan of the .410, its a great shot to build a new shooters confidence up with before moving onto bigger recoils, Cheers!

[fidgetingfinch]

Throughout this entire video, all I could think of was killing zombies with it.

[heckybank08]

What do you prefer to fire?

under and over or side by side?

[nightshade288]

lol my grandfather used that one for home defense until i gave him a freakin

mossberg 590a1 ( he digs his mossberg )

[AL3Xmotodude]

What an awesome double barrel!

You make good reviews. I especially like the intro theme with the guitar. Is it original?

Sounds pretty damn good.

[JonBurnsArt]

Sootch! Love what you're doing. I have a Stevens model 520 12G pump. I found an old Sears catalogue posting from the mid 1900's. Quite a bit of fun to research these things when it yeilds some fruit. Found out that gun was made from 1915-1930. My dad gave it to me, it belonged to his uncle. It's a nice conversation piece with my dad from time to time. I thought I'd share. I look up to you, D. -JB

[ZombieReady556]

Oh shotguns are fun, I think I know what I'm doing tomorrow.

[Elweenieloco]

Quality video like usual. Keep up the good work.

[Jesses001]

Oh, my first shotgun was a model 92 version of these shotguns. That is the 12ga version.

[orangeampsforever]

great looking guns!

[360steven]

cool video hey have you seen the stoeger duble barrel home defense gun now thats a cool gun alright talk to ya later

[SubZero210]

Awesome review, I gotta say I'm new to firearms and I have learned alot from your videos. Thanks and keep them comming.

[deke441]

own a couple .410s but there so expensive to shoot, Three times the price of 12 ga. Can anyone explain this?

[deke441]

@deke441 I don't believe these are a good starter gun at all. You are at a handicap when shooting a ,410 hunting. I used to think .410 was a good starter gun, We shoot alot of skeet and only the very best shoot .410. They are few and far between, 20ga much better choice for starter gun, keep up the good work!

[AppalachianFreedom]

Sweet little gun! Thank you for sharing sir. Thanks to the Taurus Judge, they are starting to make some pretty wicked .410 shells for self defense!

[vampire847]

beautiful piece of artwork that you got there!

[Dmajorproductions]

i like my HnR .410 single shot break action from 1936!

[GegBrown]

Nice review - that shotgun is in good shape and looks like it's still going strong.

[olchevyman]

Good Video!

Just going to say I have shot side by sides my whole life, and it never once occurred to me to shoot with only my trigger finger...I have always shot index finger front trigger, bird finger rear trigger.....Guess everyone has their own ways...lol...Neat video keep them coming...

[rapache1]

kool gun nice review

[ROFLpwnedvideos]

I have a Stoeger Coachgun 20 gauge double barrel and I LOVE that gun. (My grandpa gave it to me.)

[y512516]

can't hunt no bear with this

[1911fan181]

i would make that into a sawn off

[airsoftlamblover]

good video, very informative. sorry to hear about you great grandfather

[djknucklez1]

WOW! great info on a classic.

[AJSensei]

Nice shotgun.

[str8ridda]

Yo sootch00 where did you get that music from?

[lilham10809]

nice goth nail polish lol

[267ken]

whats up with your thumb,looks like you got m-1 thumb

[sootch00]

@267ken Black spray paint. I didn't notice it until I was finishing my editing : ) I'd be bitten by the Garand and it's no fun.

[capman911]

Hey Sootch. This is a little off base from your video you are doing now, but I want to ask you a question. Have you ever tried a Siderlock an additional trigger lock for a Glock. I am used to a regular manual safety on my pistols and I think I would feel safer with one of these mounted in the gun. Thanks for any input.

siderlock (dot) com/?section=features

[rwpock]

wow, that is horrible about your great grandpa. Hunting accidents are rare. My great grandpa got hit with bird shot real bad in a pheasant field but he was ok. There is absolutely no reason for stuff like that to happen. All of my friends are very safe when we hunt, and if we take someone who is not they do not get invited again. That is a sweet gun though

[sootch00]

@rwpock My Grandfather was only 2 yrs old when it happen. It was my Great Gandfather's best friend that shot him. When he closed the action, the gun fired and unfortunately was pointed at my great grandfather killing him in the field. That was around 95 years ago. Thanks~

[Henmo501]

@sootch00 You're grandad was 2 yrs old when he got killed??? That's what I call child molestation! FAKE AND GAY!!!!!!

[one5643]

@sootch00 My Great Uncle blew his thumb off with a double barrell when he was hunting rabbits.

[madeinamerica650]

@rwpock usually hunting acidents are caused by alcohol.....

[MahaloMoFo]

Awesome gun you got there!

[Fockersnextdoor]

nice shotgun, like it

[NaplesSwampRat]

cool gun sootch. i have a double bbl 410 made by Rossi (imported by Interarms). pretty sure its from the 70s. a little side note -- i hate guns with no serial # on them. i have a couple old .22's made by mossberg with no serial # or dates. also got a couple REALLY old single shot shotguns with no numbers

[au67]

Nice video & nice side by side btw, Is that a LC Smith in the beginning of the video?

[sootch00]

@au67 It's actually a New Empire 410 that over a 100 years old.

[hedge313]

nice side-by-side Sootch!

[aj45colt]

wooooo, now were talking... double barrel shotguns!!! nice looking gun sootch... i love to see some double guns

[buszero]

Love it! I *ALMOST* have more fun watching you shoot stuff than shooting stuff myself. LOL

[bblinda129]

Money love...

[mustangfootball63]

I never though a 410. would be much use for anything unless your a game keeper but I really like that gun. Thumbs up

[jasnyoung]

Excellent slow-mo footage of water bottle destruction!!! =)
