numrich is a good resourse for parts and has live people to help you find parts -

I have the NUMRICH catalog - let me know if you want scematics posted.

are you loooking for parts or comparing the two guns

if buying the gun - I would weight your for buying decision on use - condition and options.

IF 350 knock around and 100,000 rounds throught stored under the porch with the hound dogs / rain / dirt / wilde animals NOT GOOD

IF 320 great condition no cracks in stocks - 2,000 rounds down the tube - GOOD

is it possible to put an extension tube on it?

[Steve_In_29]

is it possible to put an extension tube on it?

350 = NO

320 = possibly since it is a clone of the Winchester 1300 and those could be extended.

[Shrubmaster]

Its hard to find reviews on this gun by someone who knows what they're talking about. Seems like a smokin value, buds has them for 210

[plumbum]

Yeah, so far it is a little hazy, the Savage website isn't specific about anything.

Went to look at the Stevens 320 myself, and it is in fact made in P.R.C. and it does look like a clone of the Winchester 1300 series - who wants to be the guinea pig and sign their name to one? Stock felt cheap, but what can you ask for $199, also the forend completely covers the loading port when in the rear most position, just seems a bit too large... YMMV? Needs a short stock and a spindle forend, then we are talking!

Would all Winchester 1300 accessories fit? I'm trying to get some accessories for my Stevens 320:

OH! and by the way, I've shot 150 shells through mine and no hiccups or problems at all! love this shotgun. It is my first 12ga and is worth every penny.

i also own a stevens 320 and i must say i am very pleased with the performance of it and would highly recommend it for its value.. had fun at the range yesterday firing 40 2 3/4" remington slugger 1oz. slug rounds

[cindynles]

Why not buy a real Ithaca 37? I saw one (eary 1950's based on the S/N) in my LGS for $250. Used ones are pretty easy to find and they last forever.

[GoatGunner]

Have had my 320 for almost a year now. Very fun to shoot, though there is a bit of kick. Putting a front pistol grip on the slide makes it much more manageable.
I've gotten into making wax/lead mixed slugs and man-o-man those suckers do some damage to milk jugs!
I'm reviving this thread to see if anyone has found a tube extension that will work for it?
I'm tempted to give it a try, but would like to have some pointers for what may vs. what won't work.
Any advice would be great

the 320 shares a lot of features of the winchester defender without quite being interchangeable. having handled it, i'd certainly get rid of the stupid forend it comes with and put a hogue on. the pistol-grip stock is decent, i'd get the 320 with the ghost-ring sights and pistol-grip stock, buy a hogue for just about any pump shotgun and custom-fit it, it's really not hard. i have an early defender and the hogue forend i bought for it didn't fit right off the bat, had to do some massaging but it works great. aside from that, unless you're left-handed, i'd avoid the 350, it's an ithaca copy and those things are gritty, snaggy, downright bizarre shotguns, and this is a copy made in china, no thanks. the 320 isn't nearly as bad, except that dumbass forend they put on it. good luck.

I just scored one of these pretty cheap. Hope it is reliable as it is for HD only. I have a Stoeger P350 for trap and skeet and such.
