Hi guys,
As you can tell I am new to the forum and have a question about a stevens 520-30 shotgun that my dad has had for the past couple of years. The more I have read on these things, the more my head is spinning. It appears that all the markings are there. The serial number is 55XXX. My biggest concern is the fact that the heat shield is parkerized and not the blued version with the pinkish bayonet lug. But I have read some links stating that a few were used in vietnam and it may have been sent through the arsenal and attached with a parkerized one. I am going to attempt to attach a couple of pictures and see what you guys think. Thanks for your help, Mike
