THE SAFEST GUN IN THE WORLD. 
The Stevens No. 520 Repeating Shotgun. 
Shows the gun with hammer accidentally released be¬ 
fore the locking block (23) is in place. The rear end of 
the slide (44) is controlled by the operating handle and 
is the last part of the sliding mechanism to move for¬ 
ward into place. Until it is pulled all the way forward, 
locking the locking block (23), it absolutely blocks the 
progress of the hammer (19). The hammer even though 
accidentally released by the trigger cannot fire the gun 
because the hammer cannot touch the firing pin (16) 
until the sliding operation is completed. 
THE SAFEST GUN IN THE WORLD. 
The Stevens 520 is the fastest, safest, best balanced pump gun in America today.
