The Stevens shotgun most commonly employed in Vietnam was the Model 77E. It had a buttstock that was slightly shorter than standard length to accommodate the slighter build of South Vietnamese troops. Some 61,000 Stevens 77E shotguns were sent to Southeast Asia during America's involvement in Vietnam. Today, they are relatively rare collectors items because the vast majority of them (almost 100%) were left in Vietnam when the American forces withdrew.

The Stevens Model 77E was a pump-action shotgun offered in 12 gauge, 16 gauge, 20 gauge, 28 gauge, and 410 gauge. The military version 77E was the most widely used shotgun of the Vietnam War. It was a short-barreled pump-action shotgun known variously as the "trench" or "riot" shotgun in 12 gauge. The Military Model 77E had a noticeably shorter stocks than similar United States military shotguns built by Ithaca Gun Company, Remington Arms, and Winchester Repeating Arms Company. These short stocks were intended to accommodate South Vietnamese soldiers, and the Military Model 77E was the first United States combat shotgun equipped with a rubber recoil pad. Military Model 77E shotguns were Parkerized with sling swivels and wooden stocks. Receivers were marked "U.S." and "p" proofmarks appeared on both barrels and receivers
prices vary on condition of the firearm but a gun in good to excellent condition should bring around $400.00. remember a person can go to the store and purchase a new in the box .410 pumpgun for that price so this one thing can and does often effect the value of a gun.
