I picked it up a few months ago. It was in ruff shape. It was missing the lever spring and screw. I picked one up at C Sharps. It was also missing the front sight blade and rear sight adjuster. I made my own. I re blued the barrel and gave a faux case hardening look on the receiver. Unfortunately it darkened when I oiled it. The forend was cracked and missing wood. The closest thing I could find was a Stevens Perfect forend of the same length. I had to file the barrel channel and remove about an 1/8” or more from the forend to make it fit. All done! Now to find ammo...or trade it.lol
When I first picked it up...
After bluing the barrel and stripping the other parts...
Faux case hardening...
Back together with original broken forend sanded smooth where it was broken off. The frowns rattle loose since it doesn’t go all the way around the barrel...
New blades I made...
And new forend I just installed...
All done! Don’t know if I’ll ever shoot it. Maybe a neat wall hanger. It was a fun project. Might have to sell or trade it for another builder or toy.
