Description:
PAUL SHUTTLEWORTH (CPA CORPORATION, PA) STEVENS MODEL 44 1/2 TWO BARREL SET SPORTING RIFLE, #97XXX. These Stevens based replicas are incredibly well made in every way inside and out. This two barrel set consists of a 28" medium heavy half octagon barrel with forend in .44-40 caliber and an identical one with its own forend in .25-35 Winchester caliber. The stock is fancy walnut with pistol grip, accent lined panels at the wrist and traditional Stevens marked hard rubber shotgun butt plate. The matching forends are schnable tipped. Interestingly, the barrels are stamped with dimensions under the forends. The .44-40 is marked "Douglas XX, 32 TW, .4282 GR, 12.16.98" as well the last three digits of the serial number matching the receiver. These markings stand for the type of barrel Paul Shuttleworth used, twist rate, exact groove diameter and date built. The .25-35 barrel is stamped "Douglas XX, 14 TW, 2569 GR, 12.16.98" with the same matching serial number. Each barrel is marked "Paul Shuttleworth" with caliber on the side. The receiver is not marked aside from the serial number. Paul Shuttleworth founded CPA Corporation and passed away in 2017. However CPA is still turning out these fine rifles on a custom order basis. This unusual two-barrel set would cost nearly $4000 to duplicate today (with wait time). The receiver has traditional Stevens style case colors, loop liver and double set triggers. It is fitted with a sporting tang rear sight, sight blanks in the rear dovetail slots, and globe front sights which will accept inserts. The barrels are richly blued. The .44-40 barrel shows some light spotting of the blue toward the muzzle on the left side which is minor. The .25-35 barrel is about perfect. Bores are bright and excellent and the receiver and lever shows about all the factory case color. With the .44-40 barrel installed, the rifle weighs approx. 9 1/2 lbs. The .25-35 will weigh a bit more because of the smaller bore size. Switching barrels is easily done by unscrewing one screw in the bottom front of the receiver and removing the barrel. A really great set with two interesting, low recoil and fun calibers to shoot!
