Okay. I know that there are expert shotgun CGNers. There are even Grand Master shotgun CGNers. I am trying very hard to have in my collection my Grandfather's shotgun. So are there any aficionados that can identify this shotgun (even with the terrible resolution) that is seen in this photo taken in Sask in 1948? I would be most appreciative.

Perhaps it is a Model 10?

It looks like it could be a Model ten or an older Stevenas.
The top of the magazine yube is kind of hard to see however.
The 10 was a take down , and many of the Stevens guns were not.

What model of Stevens? My Grandfather was a Scot. if it could be gotten cheaper he would have gone for it. LOL!
 
it is either a model 10or a model 29 it is not a Stevens or a marlin or such.The mag tube assembly that attaches to the bbl is incorrect to be a marlin. model 10 1908- 1929 275.000 made very popular and inexpensive model 29 1929-1933 38.000 not very common.

This is my reason to believe it is a remington model 10. Not a marlin and not a remington model 29. The 29 was a fancier model 10. The forstock was smooth with checkering, the model 10 has ribbs. Also on the stock of the model 10, the curve of the receiver fades into the stock. Kind of like a triangle bump, the marlin or the rem. 29 have neither. Also the way the magtube mounts on the model 10, it wraps around the barrel, kind of like a ring missing the top, the marlin does not have that. These pics explain it. From what I can see it has to be a model 10.

Greyman - that is amazing! Thank you so much for your troubles. Very compelling and accurate explanation. What is the barrel length of the one you used as reference? Thanks. :rockOn:

Butt stock has a prince of whales grip which was common on the M10's. 29's were most often stocked with a relaxed pistol grip. More uncommon as stated too... so I'd put my money on the shotgun in question being a Model 10.
