Thread: A Stevens 22 RF

Well 3 pages of suspense is enough, it's a Stevens 044 1/2 serial 2450 in 22 LR and so stamped on the action. A true falling block action and quite strong (relative to their very small stature and unsophisticated metallurgy) for such a wee chap. They are pretty uncommon here, as far as I know the ones here are more likely to be 25 or 30 rimfire and this example is a bit unusual in that it's not the "English" model which were the ones intended for export. The best place to find out about such rifles is the "American Single Shot Rifle Association" forum, and I'll enquire there and report back
