Hello everyone, long time reader but first time poster here on THR.
I have a bit of a problem, my Grandpa was an avid shooter and gunsmith with his own repair shop. However he died before I was born so I never got to meet him or else I wouldnt be asking this question. Anyway about 8 months ago I took all of his reloading equipment (shotgun and centerfire) which was collecting dust and learned how to use it, I also picked up boxs of old gun parts from firearms no longer made. But the best find was and old sxs 12ga and this is where my problem begins. It functions fine but the stock is cracked bad and needs a new one however I dont know what the gun is! All it says is:
"J.Stevens A & T.Cs(or 2 cant tell)
Chicapee(?) Falls, MN USA
-Pats Appl'd For-"
It also gives a serial number under the forearm which is 41xx
any help I could get would be greatly apprciated
PS if anyone has an old Model 12 Winchester I found a box with a new stock , recoil pad and forearm (lol well not new but never used I guess) I would be glad to sell it to anyone who may need it. Thank you again!
