This inertial release used the recoil of a discharged round to unlock the breech. There were other models including a Model 522 trap gun and the 525, 530, and 535 with increasing levels of engraving and stock quality (someВ straight grip) and fore grips.В Internally there was an inertial slide release block that was affixed to the inside of the receiver. The cartridge stop was a rocker design with a set screw on front right side of the receiver. The trigger housing was retained with three screws and the safety was a lever located inside the trigger guard in front of the trigger. The fore grip was ringed and uniform in size. It had a round slide release knob on the left side of the receiver, a visible breech locking bolt on the top of the receiver, and base models had a rounded pistol grip on the butt stock. The first Stevens 520 appeared in Stevens' 1909 Catalog #52 and was also offered for sale in the Fall 1909В Sears & Roebuckcatalog.В It is easily recognizable by its 'Humpback' double hump receiver. Browning eventually sold this design to the J Stevens Arms & Tool Company inВ Chicopee FallsВ MA. John Browning filed a patent for a вЂњhammerlessвЂќ shotgun with a unique take-down barrel and locking breech block on, it was approved onВ В and along with a separateВ В patent, that applied to the connection between the slide arm and the fore end, became what would be the Stevens Model 520. All models can also beslam fired: the shotgun has noВ trigger disconnectorВ and shells can be fired one after the other simply by working the slide if the trigger is held down.
