I dropped in to a local pawn shop and spotted a filthy old Stevens single-shot .22 - a type that I was curious about, having never owned one. I pointed out that the extractor was missing on this old eyesore and the guy behind the counter cut the price down to what I was willing to pay.
So I bought the "1950s Stevens Crackshot", took it home, cleaned it up, and found that I had bought a Stevens Favorite, Model 1915. This is much closer to what I was looking for, examples of common hunting rifles from between the wars.
Have you folks ever done anything like that - thought that you were buying thing and then found that you had something else, something better?
