Yep, been there....I might go again before the Tulsa show. Its fantastic.

I'm planning on it. Update; had a change of plans. The missus was in the hospital for 20 days with pancreatitus. Been out now for a couple of weeks, but I hate to be gone for several days. That is some nasty stuff. The pancreas gets inflamed and swells up and it just takes a long time for it to heal...

Thank you for the prayers. She had a really tough night Sat, but I think she's turned the corner today. She's still in a lot of pain but her stats look really good so maybe home in the next 2 or 3 days.......... As for the Stevens on Gunbroker, what do you make of the caliber restamp?......and yea i...

Thanks a lot for the instructions. As you can see by my picture dates, I worked on mine back in 2010, so the procedure is a little fuzzy in the memory.........along with everything else! :lol: As for your shell lifter, if it was not put back on at the exact same vertical height, would that make the ...

Ah yea, now I see how it was originally supposed to work. I can't remember if mine had a spring or not. I'll take a look one of these days. Just an observation here, and no disrespect intended, but am I correct in saying that it appears that tip of your shell lifter has been cracked through the hole...

oops double post

Thanks for the photo. It looks like the one I made is pretty close to the original. Gotta see some pictures of yours when you get it done. That wood is really going to be nice.

I think they are a really slick looking rifle, and I believe the reason this one is so good is because it was b...

I don't know how in the heck I did it but I think it works!!!!!! Mercy me. I'm not sure I could do it again.

There's also a picture of the front sight. I've never seen one like it. Its a Scott that folds down sideways.

Sorry, I don't seem to know how to do it. I've never done any linking. I tried to right click the picture and (copy) came up and I clicked it but I couldn't paste here.

By the way, in the references back to 2008, Peter Zobian, going by vintageautomobilia was compiling a list of all the 425 Stevens rifles. I can't find any reference to him as of late. Does anyone know what happened to him and his list of serial numbers?
Thanks, Irv

I got the photos to Photobucket but I've never done the link thing......kinda shows my age doesn't it?! ;What now?

MacEntyre, They're kind of a tricky rascal to disassemble and put back together, aren't they? I have never seen an original cocking bar so I'm curious about it. Does it look like its a hardened piece or ??? I really wish we could exchange pictures, but I have no idea how to make a picture with less ...

MacEntyre, You're rifle is going to be really nice when you get it done. They are a dandy rifle. I also have one and that's what got me to this sight to start with. I hope my reply isn't considered as hijacking your thread, but I have some information that you might find useful. I found out a great ...
