My first gun

Recommended Posts

I went to my parent's today and got to talking guns with Dad and had forgotten about my old .410 being at their house. Well, I shouldn't say I forgot about the gun but I hadn't thought about it or seen it in a few years. He told me to bring it on home where it would be safer than laying under his been where it's been since about 2003. It is a sentimental gun to me. My grandfather died in 81 and I came along in 86 so I never got to meet him. He bought this gun for my father when he was 11 which would be around 1975 then when I was about 10 or 11 my dad gave it to me. I can say this is the very first gun I ever owned. It has seen it's share of coons and squirrels over the years. Anyway, it is a Stevens model 94 Series M .410 with a 26" barrel. It is in about 80% condition. I do recall as to why I haven't shot it in years, the hammer broke one day and I put it away. I am currently trying to find a hammer and replace it and while I'm at it replace any springs. But I am having a little difficulty dating it. I have looked at a few other forums and googled but can't seem to find it. My dad couldn't recall if it was new when it was given to him or not. It has B9039xx stamped into the left side of the reciever. Can't wait to install a new hammer and bring back some memories.

I have one of those. Santa left under the tree for me about 1975ish, I was also 11. I recently acquired a new grandson, so in a few years he's going to get a new old shotgun that is full of experience.
It was a squirrel and rabbit getting machine when I was a kid.

Not sure if the hammer is common with other 94, but on Numrich they don't list any hammers for the Savage/Stevens 94 series M:

If they are common, they do have a hammer for 94 and is in stock for ~24.95.  You might want to give them a call.

Finally, ebay has some stuff:

BTW, nice.  I still have my 410 that my dad bought at the Co-op in Sevierville in the early 70s.  Its a Winchester 37A.  Its in 80%.  Two years ago, my oldest son killed his first squirrel with it.  Great times.  Enjoy yours, clean and restore, and have it ready for the your kids!

Nice piece of family history!!!

Found this on http://www.go2gbo.com/forums/shotguns-and-wing-shooting/savagestevens-model-94-series-m-410/

 

You need to look for a very little circle, or oval stamped on either the barrel, or receiver, usually on the barrel, near the receiver, sometimes on the outside of the receiver, but never on the inside of the receiver. It is very small, sometimes you need a magnifying glass to make out the number(s) and letter. The letter is the date code key, if you can find the letter, match it to this, and you have the date of manufacture.

Stevens / Savage 24 date codes.
