Stevens M-520 Shotgun

M-520 Shotgun

Change Info:

30 Dec 2019 - Per request changed the sight picture on the 520s so not so up close and personnel (see image posted).  Placed the shotgun in a few more spots (Boston Police Rationing Site has a 520 on the desk and in the large shed can find another set of blue prints; East Boston Police Dept has a M520 in cell area; Swans Pond has a Reaper placed in the shed).  To DO = script to have the weapon show up on select oponets will encounter.

24 Aug 2019 - Have resized the scopes/sights and placed on picrails.  Bayonet (per Hammermaster) have been staged on the standoff at the muzzle to be closer to what was used for the weapon.  Damage toned down a bit again ... still can get an OP if use the right mods.

17 OCT 2019: Optional file - M520 with reduced damage for the weapons and the mods to same.  Requires main file to be loaded first and then this and say OK when overwrite esp occurs.  Shotgun starts at about 10% better then Combat shotgun and all mods to it have had the damage add reduced by 50% or more.

The receiver was of drop-forged manufacture and covered in a matte finish. The guns arrived with a wooden stock/grip unit and wooden slide. The stock was of checkered walnut with the pistol grip integrated and a rubber butt plate fitted as standard. The slide handle was also checkered for a sure grip.

"Slam-firing" - the unintentional discharge of the weapon - was possible with the M520 as disconnects were not en vogue with such guns at the time. Such action could result in the user losing control of the gun or catastrophic breech explosions. This was a "qu
