Rancid I still have to say I always enjoy your posts, and while this is a mystery to me (not a stevens expert just a fan) I am interested to see what you find out. Don't worry about that sickness on rebuilding $10 guns into $15 guns. Several of us have that malady
I probably spent more than $100 cleaning up and fixing up a OLD beatup Winchester model 67 years ago just go get it into shooting shape. Picked it up for a $20 bill out of a cull bin at an old gun shop about a decade back. heck the sites were rusted OFF of the gun (just dovetail bases left in the slots with little lumps of rusted crud sticking up. cleaned it up, scrubbed it down, put some marbles semi buckhorn sites on it. Darned thing shoots a dime with 22 shorts or longs at squirrel range, but it HATES "hyper velocity" modern 22 long rifle rounds. I betcha I couldn't get my $20 back at a gun shop for it, which is good cause it ain't for sale
Let us know how the search on the mystery stevens goes. I bet Skeet, Gil, or Adam might have some very educated guesses on it.
Richard

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV
"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
