Bought a " Stevens Browning 620" 12 gauge pump, serial # 2443x.
The receiver has no markings, as usually seen in pictures, only markings for manufacturer/model are on the barrel.
The receiver has upper and lower tangs. I'm lead to believe this is usually seen on the older 520s. Has me wondering if I have a transition model.
Wood and metal are in decent shape for its age. The action is SLICK and I'm surprised to see about 90% remaining case colors on the breechbolt. Most pics I've seen show bright bolts.
I'm not a shotgunner. But this old girl fits like it was made for me. Close my eyes and shoulder her and she lines up perfect. Maybe I can hit more than air with this one?
Gonna take her to pieces for a good clean/ lube.
She took the last spot in the cabinet, so that means I'm done buying guns.
Right?
Keepin my back green and my powder dry.
The LORD bless and keep you

Or just do what I did.. hit your local thrift shops looking for china hutches. Nobody wants them any more, can usually find a nice one for under $200. Bit of tweaking and you have... Holds 8 guns sideways for display, or 17 for storage. Think I have $130 into it. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/7ZVHxcHh.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/zfvgbf8h.jpg)

Both of my 620s have top and bottom tangs, along with my 520s.

Right? so sorry to learn of your illness Muddly! Terminal. must be terminal if you are done buying guns. only a terminal illness is an excuse to cause such a drastic action! 
the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee

Looks like you got some Marlin in your Savages One. It was my dad’s. Best gun in that case. To me, at least.

I don't have too many guns, I just need a bigger safe.
