Description:
VERY RARELY FOUND STEVENS! THIS IS A FAVORITE, MODEL 1915 No.20 WHICH WAS THE ONLY MODEL SPECIFICALLY MADE AS A SMOOTH BORE RIM FIRE SHOTGUN! These were made in .22 LR Shot Cartridges and .32 Rim Fire Shot Cartridges, this example is chambered in the more desirable .22LR Shot Cartridge. Made without a rear barrel sight or dovetail and just a small shotgun bead front sight, breech of the 24" round barrel is marked "22-SHOT" along with the usual Stevens barrel address markings, top of the octagon receiver has the standard "FAVORITE" markings and the tang is stamped "MODEL 1915." The barrel retains fine deep blue, this model had a full blued receiver and amazingly most of the lightly aged blue remains along with some original protective lacquer that Stevens used on these receiver (looks like shiny spots in photos), bore is bright with some surface roughness, fine wood could use a good clean as it has some small splotches of white paint (!) remaining- typical as these small takedown guns were used as "barn guns" or "garden guns" for shooting pests without doing other damage to plants or structures. Usually entire category of firearm is found in terrible condition as they were truly utility guns/tools and were rarely cared for (hence the white paint on the stock!). This is one of the best of the few I've seen over the years. Exc. screws, correct butt plate, tight action and takedown.
