Description:
HIGH CONDITION STEVENS .22 LONG RIFLE, RELIABLE POCKET RIFLE No. 42, SECOND ISSUE, #43XXX. Only about 8,000 of these small frame pocket rifles were made from 1896-1916. They were numbered along with the popular non-shoulder stocked No. 43 Diamond pistol of which 70,000 were made in the 26000-100000 range. This would make this example a very early production pocket rifle. Only made with 10" part octagon barrel and sliding shoulder stock with no locking screw. Most of these are now found lacking the stock. This one has the correct matching number stock. Overall, superb condition for one of these small firearms that found favor with trappers and outdoorsman who needed an accurate .22LR pistol/rifle. When found today, this model is usually in hard used, hard carried condition. This one retains about all the nickel on the frame and shoulder stock. The barrel also retains nearly all the blue with only some light thinning/ageing. Original buckhorn rear sight with small blade/bead front sight. Exc. markings, exc. grips, hammer and most of the screws still retain good blue. Bright excellent bore (!) and mechanically tight. Would be difficult to improve upon.
