Stevens 520 help

[ErikC12]

I've got a first model Stevens 520, pre-1915. I need to find a few parts for it, the problem is, I'm not entirely sure which ones or how they go together. The Numrich schematic is to general, as it includes the 520, 520A, 620, and 620A, but doesn't always indicat which parts are specific to which models.

Similarly, I can't find any 520 specific exploded diagrams, most are 520/620 or 520A/620A. I get that the models are very similar, but there are enough differences in some of the parts that one wouldn't necessarily work in the other.

Can anyone point me to any 520 specific resources?

Thanks.

Stevens 520/620 Resources

Sorry I can't answer your question directly, but I can give you some leads that might possibly help. Below is a link to a Stevens ID Guide and timeline:

You might consider contacting the Guide author through the parent web site. I believe the author is also OkiMarine on Shotgunworld.com, and Researcher01 on that site is also knowledgeable on Stevens 520/620 shotguns. Good fortune with your hunt!

Thanks. His guide is how I was able to narrow down the year on it. Maybe a contact attempt is in order.
