Description:
32-40, 32” octagon barrel with recessed crown and turned for starter (not present) with six-groove progressive depth rifling and a bright very fine bore showing a few spots of light oxidation and otherwise strong rifling. This is a rather nice rifle built on a No. 44 action with a few period modifications, the matching factory barrel retaining perhaps 85% original blue with overall fading to gray-brown patina under bright light, scattered thin scratches and a few small areas of old light pitting. The action retains about 80% original cyanide case-hardened colors fading to silvery gray and showing some light oxidation staining, the breechblock and hammer with generous bright blue. The smooth walnut forend shows three small vacant holes along its underside and has been nicely fitted during the period of use with a nice rosewood palm rest and rather heavy duty brass hardware. The smooth pistolgrip walnut buttstock rates about very good plus with generous original varnish showing some scattered light dings and a few thin cracks emanating from the edge against the buttplate, namely one measuring about 4 1/2” along the left side, these likely due to a pair of lead weights that have been pressed into the end beneath the buttplate during the period of use. Stock fit at the tangs is otherwise very nice. There is a somewhat peculiar slightly beveled edge along the right side against the buttplate, which is a little proud in some areas but is matching the action. The barrel is fitted with a pair of target blocks and the rear sight dovetail is blanked, the tang is fitted with a factory mid-range Vernier-style sight with six-position aperture and the front sight is a Beach combination that shows some small dings. The double set triggers seem to function well mechanically. An interesting Stevens rifle for the single shot collector.
