Hey THR. My future father-in-law just gave my fiancee his old Stevens .22. He acquired the rifle from his dad before he passed. It was hanging up in the basement for years and didn't see a need for it anymore. Well apparently the gun was 'in bad shape', so my father-in-law decided to 'clean it up a bit' (I know, I know :banghead: ). Rear sight has been broken 'for a while' So that's why it looks like hell.....
We tried to fire a round from it, but it didn't go so well. The round fired, but it broke the casing at the base and the neck of the case actually got stuck in the gun; it was removed with pliers. Needless to say we didn't fire it anymore. I did a tad bit of research and apparently the gun isn't rare or anything, especially in this shape. I don't have any plans on selling it, so it's rarity doesn't matter to me either way, I was just curious. However, I'm still happy to own it (well, she owns it) knowing it's been passed down a few generations. A few pics for you.
