About this product
The Stevens 320 Field/Security Combo is a dual-barrel pump shotgun package that provides hunters and home defenders with two purpose-built configurations in a single affordable platform. This 12-gauge system combines field and security capabilities with the mechanical simplicity of a proven pump action design, offering exceptional versatility for the price point.
What is the Stevens 320 Field/Security Combo used for?
The Stevens 320 serves as both a hunting shotgun and home defense weapon, with its 28-inch vent-rib barrel handling birdshot and slugs effectively while the 18.5-inch barrel provides maneuverability in tight spaces. The 5+1 capacity tube magazine and 3-inch chamber accommodate everything from light target loads to heavy defensive rounds, making it suitable for everything from waterfowl hunting to perimeter security. The included modified choke extends its range to approximately 40 yards with #4 shot, while the shorter barrel keeps overall length to 38.5 inches for indoor use.
How does the Stevens 320 compare to the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U?
The Stevens 320 offers significantly more versatility than the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U at less than half the price, though it sacrifices the refined fit and finish of an over-under design. Where the 555 excels at clay targets and upland game with its precise barrel regulation and walnut stock, the 320's dual-barrel system allows rapid configuration changes between field and defensive roles. The 320's pump action also handles a wider variety of ammunition types without sensitivity to recoil impulse, making it more forgiving for novice shooters.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Stevens 320 weighs 7.2 pounds with the 28-inch barrel installed and measures 48.5 inches overall length in field configuration. With the security barrel, overall length drops to 38.5 inches while weight reduces to 6.8 pounds due to the shorter steel tube. The synthetic stock has a 14-inch length of pull, and the receiver measures 1.5 inches wide at its thickest point.
Who is this NOT for?
This package isn't for competitive shooters needing rapid follow-up shots or those requiring premium fit and finish. The pump action's cycling speed limits practical rate of fire compared to semi-automatics, and the utilitarian synthetic stock lacks the aesthetic appeal of walnut or checkering. Serious trap or skeet competitors would be better served by the Stevens 555 Sporting 20 Gauge with its specialized choke tubes and balanced handling.
What's in the box?
The package includes both 28-inch vent-rib and 18.5-inch security barrels, one modified choke tube, synthetic sporter stock, and owner's manual. You'll find no additional choke tubes, case, or cleaning kit included—just the essentials to get shooting immediately. The barrels ship separately wrapped in foam sleeves within the same cardboard box, with total package weight at 9.5 pounds before shipping.
Is the Stevens 320 worth it at $274.99?
At $274.99, the Stevens 320 delivers exceptional value for shooters needing multiple configurations without multiple firearms. The cost of purchasing separate field and security shotguns would exceed $600, making this combo approximately 54% cheaper than buying equivalent dedicated guns. For budget-conscious hunters or homeowners seeking serious capability without premium prices, this represents one of the most practical solutions on the market.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with aftermarket choke tubes?
- The Stevens 320 uses Winchoke pattern tubes, which are widely available from brands like Carlson's and TruLock. The included modified choke handles most hunting loads, but you'll need to purchase additional chokes separately for specialized applications. Expect to spend $25-40 per additional choke tube from major manufacturers.
- Does it fit standard shotgun cases?
- With the 28-inch barrel installed, the Stevens 320 requires a 50-inch case for proper storage. Most standard 52-inch shotgun cases will accommodate it with room to spare. For the 18.5-inch configuration, a 40-inch case provides adequate protection during transport.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes firearms shipments within 3 business days via UPS or FedEx to your selected FFL. Transit time typically adds 2-5 business days depending on your location. All shipments require adult signature and FFL transfer upon delivery.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Firearms purchases are final sale unless defective upon receipt. You have 7 days to inspect for mechanical issues and request return authorization if the firearm fails to function properly. All returns must go through an FFL and require original packaging and documentation.
- Does this work with mini-shells?
- The Stevens 320 cycles standard 2.75-inch and 3-inch shells reliably but may experience feeding issues with mini-shells without an adapter. OPSol Mini-Clip adapters ($15-20) are required for reliable mini-shell operation and drop directly into the chamber.
