Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Manufactured in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts under the historic Springfield trademark by the J. Stevens Arms Company (a division of Savage Arms), the Model 5100 is one of mid-century America's most respected working-class side-by-side shotguns. Built around a robust boxlock action with a vibrant color case-hardened receiver and fluid-steel barrels, the Model 5100 was designed for working hunters who required unfailing reliability in the field. Renowned for its natural pointer-like balance, dual triggers, and crisp lockup, the 16 gauge variant is particularly favored by upland bird hunters for its ideal weight and quick-swinging characteristics.
This exact shotgun, produced pre-1968 without a traditional serial number (stamped with matching "VUC" factory inspection marks across the action water table, barrel lug, and forend wood), was manufactured at the Chicopee Falls plant circa the 1940s to 1950s. Chambered in the versatile 16 Gauge for 2 3/4" shells, it features 28-inch blued "Selected Forged Steel" barrels choked Modified and Full, a solid matted sighting rib with dual white/brass bead sights, color case-hardened receiver, double triggers, extractors, automatic tang safety, and a pressed-checkered American walnut stock. Exhibiting excellent original condition throughout with generous remaining case colors, deep barrel bluing, tight lockup, smooth break-open action, and mirror-bright bores, this Springfield Stevens Model 5100 16 Gauge is an outstanding piece for upland game hunters, American double-gun purists, or C&R shotgun collectors.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3-day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
