Beak, correct on the model and serial.

OEF-vet, there seems to be contradictory info on the date if Model #5000 indicates 1920s.

What I should have said was that the STYLE of the serial number, 6 digit starting with a letter, indicates post 1968. Though Stevens used S/Ns well before 1968, there was a time when they made 311s without them.
