Description:
EXCEEDINGLY RARE AND ALMOST NEVER SEEN STEVENS No. 40 1/2 .22RF POCKET RIFLE WITH STOCK, not to be confused with the standard No. 40, the No. 40 1/2 has the special integral tang sight mounted on the back strap along with a non-adjustable V-notch fixed style rear sight and a folding globe Beach front sight- all of which are still on this piece! The 10" part oct/round barrel retains most of the blue that is thinning with a little brown mixing from age, retains all the original nickel finish on the receiver and wire shoulder stock with only a touch of edge flaking on the stock, bore is bright with scattered light corrosion (typical), the stock appears to have never been numbered and has two deeply stamped, very small letters where the serial number is normally stamped- difficult to make out, but possibly a "L" and "X" the meaning of which is unknown to me, but the stock is certainly correct, in the same condition as the pistol and appears to have always been with it, according to the book STEVENS PISTOLS AND POCKET RIFLES, by Kenneth L. Cope, it is estimated that only 2,500 of this model were made beginning in 1896 and many of these were made in less desirable .25 RF and .32 RF calibers.
