J Stevens 940E – 12 Ga – 28” Barrel – Single Shot
Stevens Model 940E shotguns are inexpensive, single-shot break open shotguns. Nothing fancy, just solidly built and reliable. The 940E that we have on consignment is a pre-1968 model and we find no serial number on it (nor is one required).
The action is opened by a side lever and the external hammer is then manually cocked. This gun is a 12 Gauge model and will fire either 2-3/4” or 3” shells. We do not find either the date code or fixed choke marking. The 28 inch barrel has a single bead sight at the muzzle.
The lockup is tight and the ejector functions correctly. The bore is good and the barrel is bright. The hardwood stock is in Good condition, as is the grooved, black buttplate. The stock has one ding on the underneath side. The barrel and receiver both have the majority of their finish intact but there is light freckling and pitting along both.
This inexpensive vintage shotgun is well-suited for farm use, a truck gun or just inexpensive fun. Nothing fancy. Nothing that’s going to hurt the budget.
Purchase is for the shotgun only. No other items are included in the sale.
This is a consignment sale and, like all of our consignments, we have not test fired this shotgun. We have performed our function checks and find only cosmetic issues to report. As with all pre-owned firearm purchases, please review the photos carefully so that you are comfortable with the condition of the shotgun.

Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction. And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process. We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it. We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store. And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process. We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.
Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community. Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state. At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible. That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.
Most everything can be easily bought online these days. But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated. Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want. Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice. Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
