Stevens 350 Pump does anyone have one ?

Like most Chinese guns they are nice to inspect in person to look for obvious problems with barrel indexing or crooked sights etc..... but if it passes a personal inspection it's likely good to go.

I have a Stevens 350
Seemed well made, loved the steel construction, and the bottom load / eject
It cycled about 100 rounds of 2 3/4" birdshot, some buckshot, and 5 slugs until problems started
Right now it is double feeding on a regular basis
I've stripped it down, cleaned it, oiled it, all to no avail
Even replacing the magazine spring hasn't helped
I'm considering selling it as a parts gun if someone wants it for super cheap
Save your pennies and buy something that's been around for a few years with a solid reputation
I just treated myself to a Mossberg 590a1 which will be a nice step up

I had a 320 model. That one is even cheaper, we're talking a $230 shotgun. Everything about it was awesome except it didn't have a very strong ejection but I think that issue was improved. Other than that it only misfed from operator error, it was my first shotgun, but never ever failed to fire and shot the cheapest crap Winchester Universal target loads from walmart very well without jamming if you can believe that. I may buy another one just cause they are so cheap and good for the money. I know someone else that has a newer manufactured one and he has had no problems.
The Maverick 88's can be had in various two barrel combos for pretty cheap as well. Uncle picked up a slug/security combo for under $300 a couple years back, it seems to be a pretty decent firearm. Mossberg 500 for the most part with a few cheaper features. I've seen a rifled slug/waterfowl barrel combination recently as well.
I wanted a stevens 350 cause my wife is a lefty.
After reading lots of reviews I got a maverick 88 instead. They take most parts from a mossberg 500 so new stocks and barrels are readily available, and reliability is top notch. I'm at around 1000 rounds, mostly target loads but a few slugs too and not a single problem that wasn't operator error. (Ok one ftf, but that was the ammo not the gun)
And these are also available in a two barrel set if that's what you want (or you can just buy the gun and get a second barrel later)
