Stevens Model 44 22LR - help requested
I have a barreled action sitting here that appears to be in pretty decent shape. The barrel looks to have been relined and barrel and action refinished in hot bluing. The refinishing work isn’t perfect, but I’ve seen far worse. The action is tight as a tick, but perhaps the trigger return spring is broken. It cocks only if held barrel down. I don’t have a butt plate, and they just don’t seem to be that easy to locate. Perhaps I’m not looking in the correct place. I don’t have any wood, but am thinking that a stock for a 44 1/2 from CPA might suit me. I think I will fill the dovetail cut and put a scope on it and use it for ground squirrels. Perhaps a shotgun butt plate would be a better fit for my purposes.
It appears that CPA sells the Model 44 trigger return and hammer springs, tang screws, butt plate screws.
If anyone has any experience rounding up parts for a Stevens 44, I sure would appreciate them sharing what they have learned. I’ve always really appreciated the looks of the Model 44 and have come quite close to buying a basket case and restoring it quite a few times.
