Does anyone happen to know the contract production dates/years for USGI Stevens 77E riot guns? How about by serial number range also?

I'm not aware of any production tables for the 77E. But they were made around 1963, give or take a year. -
77E production
The 77E was produced on two different contracts the 1st contract was given on 3/29/1963 and deliveries started on 5/24/1963 the last delivery was on 12/31/1963 the total was 58,940 guns the 2nd contract was given on 10/17/1963 and delivered on 2/14/1964 for 1,980 for a total of 60,920 guns hope this helps youComment

Do you know serial numbers, or serial number ranges for these contracts?"There's a race of men that don't fit in,

I will have to look through the records to check the serial number range. The lowest number I have recorded is 9644 the highest I have recorded is 61898.there where two guns available from DRMS in 1985 to law enforcement those numbers were 2400 & 2401 they where available from NWSC.Comment

Were the Stevens 69 series of 12 gauge shotguns ever part of a 60's government contract?"There's a race of men that don't fit in,
